Preorder now live: Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Sotne, book 3)

The audiobook for Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 3) is now available for preorder!

Some select reader reviews to entice the soul:

“For fans of the Arinthian Line and Fury of a Rising Dragon, the third installment of Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone delivers on questions that have spanned across multiple series.”

“… the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone doesn’t feel like a prequel and can stand alone as someone’s first introduction to Sever Bronny’s work.”

“Wonderful continuation of the series that sets up Arcane while still leaving enough untold to allow Mrs. Stone to feel mysterious and private when introduced despite knowing so much of her life from this book. Finished reading it in three days because I couldn’t put it down”

“These books like the others are so incredibly well thought out to even the tiny details that pop up books later. I would really recommend any of the books by this author although I’d rather say read them all. Probably one of the most profound worlds I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading again and again.”

“A powerful conclusion to a series that reignites my love of learning”

“Strap in for an emotional ride”

“All i can say is that i am grateful to have read this masterpiece”

The launch is April 30th! You can snag Flames of Stone here.

Flames of Stone PREORDER now live!

Some curses cannot be broken. They must be faced.
 
As a teacher, a wife, and a mother, Anna Atticus Stone craves peace. But being a warlock champion means protecting the kingdom. It also means watching over her unruly daughter, Thia, who’s fallen for a boy.
 
A boy who happens to dabble in—of all things—necromancy.

When that boy—and a deadly figure from Anna’s past—involve Thia in an illegal warlock tournament, Anna must consider dusting off her dueling skills. But not all is as it seems, and when Anna discovers Thia has been cursed, she finds herself in an epic battle for her daughter’s soul.

A battle that drags the entire family into Hell.
 
Anna faces her worst nightmares in this spell-binding and emotional finale to the Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, which delves into the life of one of the most beloved characters from the bestselling series The Arinthian Line.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS FROM THE AUTHOR:
I cannot express how excited I am about Flames of Stone. The book, which clocked in around 225,000 words (about the same length as The Arcane Artist), delves into a crucial — and difficult — part of Anna’s midlife, one I was not sure I would have the courage to tackle.

But I did it. A year of solid work thus culminates in my twelfth(!) book, and the finale to this series. Although this book ends with Anna being fifty years of age, I wrote it in such a way that you can then jump right into Arcane, as everything else that happens between Anna turning fifty and Augum stepping into the picture is discussed in The Arinthian Line series.

I feel that this book—in fact the whole series about Anna—exemplifies the most impactful times of Anna’s life that led to her becoming who she is in The Arinthian Line, while still feeling fresh and new (I do not believe that you will feel like you’re reading a “prequel”).

Writing Flames of Stone was an emotional ride, one I am incredibly proud of completing. There will be some tear-jerking moments. But there will also be a lot of new revelations, namely who Augum’s grandfather was (and thus the Lord of the Legion’s father), with a big twist as to why no one except for Anna knows his identity.

And of course, you will read about loads of new spells, as well as already familiar spells that receive a lot more detail. You will delve into new world lore and pick up some hidden easter eggs that hark back to series 1 and 2. It is a robust book, and I hope a fulfilling one. It certainly was for me writing it.

Thank you for all your amazing support over the years. Much more to come, including illustrations, merchandise, and more on the trio, who I will be writing about next! You’ll hear from me again soon.

All my best to you and those you love, Sever,

P.S. ART sendout coming soon.

Anna book 2: Cover and blurb reveal + preorder

The Arcane Artist (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 2) epic fantasy series ya fantasy young adult coming of age magic female protagonist girl hero warlock witch wizard adventure fun like

Warlock Anna Atticus Stone is on her final year at the academy. As head of student council, academic prodigy, and champion arena dueler, she seems the perfect pupil.

In reality, Anna is grieving, overwhelmed, and so lonely she talks to herself. Above all, she fears assassination if people find out her father’s dying gift to her was a scion. Only seven of these powerful artifacts exist, one in each kingdom—a precarious balance that maintains peace.

That peace shatters when a kingdom steals a second scion and invades its weaker neighbor. Anna feels compelled to act, but that would mean facing her crippling fears, a quest into the unforgiving wilds, and risking her kingdom becoming a target of war.

Driven by the memory of her father, she must find the one thing eluding her thus far . . . courage.

The book is on schedule to launch in December, and will be my eleventh published book. For now, the book enters the editing stage.

🎇Champion’s Wrath is now LIVE ON KINDLE!🎇

Your wait is over! The grand finale to the Fury of a Rising Dragon series, Champion’s Wrath, has finally launched on Kindle.

This book was a huge undertaking and an emotional journey for me, but I am mighty proud of the work—and the entire Fury of a Rising Dragon series as a whole. Loads of surprises coming your way.

Champion’s Wrath is a true epic, clocking in at a whopping 275,000 words—736 paperback pages, maxing out the printer (and my nerves). I gave it my very all every step of the way.

I cannot thank you enough for your amazing support over the years. You have sent me emails by the thousands from all corners of the world, throwing nothing but kindness my way, encouraging this endeavor. Because of you, I have been able to be a full-time author now for over five years (and I’ve spent nine years writing the trio in total—thus far).

And special thanks to the ART. You know who you are, and you are very much appreciated 🙂

This has been a difficult year in particular for everyone, and hopefully Augum, Bridget and Leera can give you a little pick-me-up for the holidays. So grab a blanket and get cozy, because the last adventure in the Fury of a Rising Dragon series is about to begin. I proudly reveal Champion’s Wrath, available from Amazon in the following countries:

USA | UK | GERMANY | FRANCE | SPAIN | ITALY | NETHERLANDS | JAPAN | BRAZIL | CANADA | MEXICO | AUSTRALIA | INDIA

All my best to you and those you love,

—Sever
P.S. Additionally, I put the Kindle version of Arcane and Burden’s Edge on sale for only 99 cents (sale ends Dec 8th). Please share if you have people in your circle who you think might enjoy the saga.

P.P.S. I hope you will consider leaving an honest review of Champion’s Wrath on Amazon when you’re done, as every review helps Augum, Bridget and Leera reach new readers. Thank you so much.

P.P.P.S. Bonus photos of Buddha. She pretends like she wants to be part of the fun, but what she really wants are the cookies:

At long last, the epic fantasy audiobook LEGEND launches, concluding The Arinthian Line series

It feels strange to announce happy news right now, but perhaps it will bring a small bit of joy to those who have been waiting for this piece of news for many years now.

Thus, at long last, it gives me great honor to announce the audiobook release of LEGEND, the conclusion to the epic fantasy audiobook series The Arinthian Line.

https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Arinthian-Line-Book-5/dp/B081VRFDF5

It’s been an incredible journey for this saga. Audiobooks of this length are difficult to produce and distribute, that is why I would like to extend a very special thank you to Stefan Rudnicki, who believed in the project and pushed for it, as well as the rest of the team over at Skyboat Media and Blackstone distribution.

And I would like to thank you, the listener and reader, for believing in my work enough to finish this dream.

Happy listening,

—Sever
P.S. For those of you who will now be finishing the series up, please consider leaving honest reviews on audible for my work. Thank you :)

The Latest News

Let’s get to the big news first: the audiobook for Honor’s Price (Fury of a Rising Dragon, book 2) just launched today!

It’s narrated by the accomplished Gary Furlong, from Ireland.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking about when more audiobooks are going to come out, but unfortunately audiobooks take a long time to produce—especially for fantasy epics, which is the kind I write. The best thing you can do to help speed the process along is to get the distributors to take notice, which means leaving an honest review of any of my audiobooks on audible.

On to other matters.

I hope the wait for book 3 in the Fury of a Rising Dragon series is not too excruciating. I’ll be releasing the title of the work in the coming months. I’m also still on track for an early December launch, and am having a blast editing the book. It’s a big adventure with a lot of new character development and a whole new storyline that’s going to take things in an incredible direction. Augum’s main challenge in this work will be to control his temper while stepping into the shoes of a true leader. The girls too will have their own unique challenges.

I’m quite excited about where things are headed with this series, and have big plans for our intrepid trio—as well as a unique combination of spellcasting and story I simply cannot wait for you to experience.

There’s been a lot of mail in general from you happy folks (I post the “best-of” here on this site). You’ve been amazingly supportive and understanding of how long these stories take to crank out and get right. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you :)

All my best to you and those you love, and happy listening to Honor’s Price!
Sever

P.S. I added a recent photo of me inducting Honor’s Price into the local downtown library here in Victoria, BC.

First draft of Book 3 (Fury of a Rising Dragon series) nearing completion.

I just passed 200,000 words in book 3 to the Fury of a Rising Dragon series (title to be announced). The book is rapidly nearing its conclusion—and it’s one epic conclusion. But it’s only one battle in a war, which means, you guessed it:

Yes, there will be a book 4!

The expected release date of book 3 is December of this year (2019).

Thank you for your patience and your continued support. Your letters and comments inspire me to give it my all with my writing.

I love this job.
