Hi there, just a quick post today. Shards of Stasis, Soul Court Ascension book 2, is out now. I posted about book 1, City of Souls, before it came out.
Just as with the first book, I’ve read an ARC of book 2 and I really enjoyed it. I don’t want to say too much about this book, because anything I’d say would be spoilery for book 1. If you’ve read and enjoyed book 1, you’re going to want to pick up book 2. If you haven’t read City of Souls yet, then why not check it out now?
Just a brief warning, though. Book 2 is both dark and it ends on a particularly tense cliffhanger. If you’re not in the headspace for a cliffhanger right now, you may like to wait until closer to book 3’s release date. I don’t think there’s going to be much of a wait for the final book. I get the feeling it will be out later this year.
The reality contagion threatening the Melded Earths might be temporarily stable, but the unintended mating bond between Hel and Bast is anything but. Hel's link to his necromancy is drowning her in deaths. On top of that, ominous shards of stone are emerging from the earth—deadly to both their people and Hel's secrets. If Bast can't find a way to protect Hel from his power, they'll both die leaving the contagion to annihilate their world. With the Lady of Air marshalling her forces, starhounds prowling the city's streets, and their tenuous truce with the other elemental rulers crumbling, Bast is pulled in all directions as he fights to save his mate. Under attack from outside and within, they fly from court to court in desperation. Inextricably bound together, their only hope of survival lies in the same bond that’s killing them.
