Hi Readers!

  Although it's not required in the Volumes feature, I felt compelled to write a blurb for Book 2. Below is the reveal for the Blurb and the cover for Book 2 of The Unexpected Vanguard - The Siremirian Conundrum. First chapter drops in August 2025! Make sure to follow so you don't miss the Chapter 1 debut!

  Blurb:

  Same crew, more mystery, higher stakes, bigger grift!

  Seeking vengeance and a bit of treasure, a group of unremarkables is thrust into a dangerous spotlight when they foolishly steal a mysterious stone from under the nose of an unseen adversary.

  Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

  But their heist exposed a threat well above their pay grade, and a prize easily capable of disrupting Venn's magical balance of power. Now, with their adversary revealed to be something far older and more monstrous than they believed possible, all bets are off.

  How do you defeat an immortal foe with the fate of the civilized world at stake? You Don't. You con them!

  Can a group of amateur spies, thieves, disgruntled monks, and a pampered ranger outrun a foe whose power transcends life and death? Can they outwit her mortal cabal to uncover the secrets of her dark dominion? Can they keep the power to destroy empires from her grasp?

  Only if they can solve The Siremirian Conundrum!

  Publishing on Royal Road beginning August 2025!
