《The Trials of the Lion》Trials of the Lion: Fiction Update
Advertisement
Greetings! I'm going to keep this very short. I published The Trials of the Lion on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited on August 17th, 2022. During that process, Amazon briefly had exclusivity to 90% of the Trials content, and I had to remove it from Royal Road. I've regretted that since it happened and was eagerly awaiting the day I could migrate the chapters back here. My success has been here on RR, and my readers mean a lot more to me than the piddly few cents I was making through KU. Those of you who comment, send me messages, and leave reviews brighten my days and broaden my horizons.
Well, it's November 14th baby, and today's the day! Starting now, all of The Trials of the Lion content is restored to RoyalRoad, and the mainline stories will never go away again. This is a mistake I made, and not one I plan to repeat. The Kindle Unlimited process wasn't what I hoped it would be anyway, and to be honest, seems like a raw deal for readers. That brings back almost 300 pages of content, across more than 130,000 words. And we're just getting warmed up, readers. I'm sitting on another 80,000 words that I am in the process of actively editing to refine it into the best sword and sorcery content on the platform. In particular, the Savage Crown saga, which composes (at current) five separate arcs, has been an absolute blast to bring together, and I'm getting more ideas every week. Buried in there is another novella that explores the nature of death and destiny, an Arthurian legend, and a pretty wild one that establishes the direction we're going long-term. And it's suitable bleak.
To celebrate the return of the Lion to RoyalRoad, his true home, I'm publishing a bonus chapter of the new arc, "A Chain of Crowns," this morning. Hell yeah! Thanks for sticking with The Trials.
Stay fierce!

Kingdom of Ice
"170 years ago, in a world where humans have evolved such that they could live on the ocean floor, and form cities there, Commandant Franklin led a hunting party on a reconaissance expedition north, traveling from the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the High Arctic. His goal: to find the fabled Northwest Passages for the Vicegerent of Tridention, and establish business with underwater arctic cities there. But the expedition went awry, and they never returned. Everyone in the party was presumed dead. Until now. When two of the hunters from that same expedition find their way back to Tridention after all these years, Watson, a retired commandant for one of Tridention's thirty-five hunting parties, agrees to help those hunters form a ragtag party of their own, against their leadership's wishes, and travel all the way back to the same Northwest Passages to recover the rest of the hunting expedition. The hope is that their commandant, and other hunters, are somehow still alive and can be brought back home safely. "

Bells and Taxes
The territory of Palmetto, ragged and mean, was once the banishing lands for the kings of the Old World. In that sea of hills they exiled their enemies, their upstarts, the deposed tyrants and rebels who came too close. Ancient prisons emptied their depths into Palmetto. Persecuted tribes fled to the refuge of its hideaway valleys. After a century and some, the land of Palmetto had evolved into a patchwork of flimsy feudalism, cult compounds, and grift economies. The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
