In Book 2, Val gets caught up in the drama of Tavras, Evalaite, and Arius. I would like to offer a good-natured apology for subjecting you to the love geometry…. Who needs love triangles when you can have a love square, am I right?

Since this is the end of a book, it is also a good point to reflect upon the story as a whole so far.

Consider leaving a rating or review if you haven't already!

Also, I greatly appreciate feedback so that I can improve both the story and my overall skill as an author. If you have any thoughts no matter how big or small, I would love to see a comment, review, or PM!

In the post-chapter Author Notes of the Afterword, I will give credit to the people who gave me any feedback that resulted in sizable changes as a thank you!

Schedule Update:

I am taking circa a week break to outline Book 3. Updates will be back on Monday 9/06.

Also sadly, I will be shifting back to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday update schedule once I come back.

(Yes, Divine Blood is still on Rising Stars…. It peaked at the 19th spot of the Romance list—never got onto any of the more popular Action, Adventure, or Fantasy lists. I still check its position regularly, so like, if I see that it gets back into the teens or onto the bottom of the other lists, I might go back to daily updates.

Honestly, I never realized that fictions stay on the list this long, so promising that I would do daily updates while it stays on the list was my inexperience talking. o.O

I tried really hard. I hope that counts for something!)

Before we get to the Book 3 description, do you remember the Book 2 description by any chance? If you do, yeeaaahh, we’re still getting to that. I may or may not have massively overestimated how much I could fit into one book. I realized this in the writing process of Book 2 and adjusted the climax and conclusion accordingly but wow…. We might not get to my original intent for Book 2 until Book 4 honestly. I am going to try being more conservative with my outline this time around!

These descriptions are so hard to write, but let me try again!

Book 3 description:

[I took this out because I way miscalculated how long this would be for my outline once again. Just keep reading if you like the story!]

One thing: Gina was introduced in what is now the optional prologue. If you haven't read it, you might want to check it out in the meantime or see if you can catch the foreshadowing to Gina's powers! (This is how much planning went into this story.)

Poll Background:

Lastly, I would like to share a little bit about the characters. As some of you have noticed, Arius is the deuteragonist of Divine Blood.

This story easily could have been written with Arius as the protagonist, but let’s be real. Foofy was my deciding factor for the primary viewpoint character! (Plus, Val’s Past Insight can cover the earlier story events, though I don’t know how to feel about the flashback structure, much less how you guys feel about it….)

Anyway, sometimes I entertain the idea of doing a total rewrite with Arius as the primary viewpoint character. He does a lot in the 120 years before the story’s current time. (Though I probably would not actually implement a rewrite until Divine Blood concludes in its current form… or if I somehow dared to update both at the same time.)
