《QUEEN OF DEATH ✔》FINAL NOTE
Advertisement
At last, this heartbreak of a story is finally over.
It honestly just started out as a little project of mine, something new to write apart from Crown of Glass. What I did not expect, was for it to blow up the way it has. I can't thank you guys enough for your love and support writing this - this book has been ongoing since almost 2 years, and today it feels surreal putting the tick mark next to the title and marking it as completed.
So guys... so far, I've been overwhelmed by the response to Queen of Death. Which brings me to an idea I've had since long.
Queen of Death is the story of Hades and his Queen.
But what about Zeus and Poseidon?
I've always wanted to make it a sort of trilogy about the three main Greek gods, with multiple spin offs maybe about other Greek tales. Zeus has Hera, with a lot of stories behind their encounters which could make for a nice tale, but it's Poseidon and Amphitrite I'm worried about.
Amphitrite is the goddess of the sea (and also a character from Crown of Glass, coincidently) who was Poseidon's queen consort, but there haven't been many stories about her. Even the inexhaustible Wikipedia gives a few details about her. But the thing is, I've always wanted to write a book on mermaids and sirens and Greek gods, so I feel I might just take all of this and twist it together into a story?
My stories have always been women centric. Queen of Death is about Persephone's journey, and this one will be about Amphitrite's life, a woman who we don't know much about. But it'll have Poseidon, sirens, mermaids, and lavish Greek culture along with that a dark, romantic sort of theme.

So... will you guys be up for it?
It's been a bittersweet journey finishing this - knowing the original tale and putting my own spin to it. However, it's been amazing writing those sensitive, complex characters - take them apart into pieces and putting them together again. They certainly deserve some peace after the damn hurricane that went down in the Underworld!
I think the best part of this story was the end - the lesson Persephone and Hades both learned. To let go of some things in life you cannot control, and cherish the part that you can control. They've gotten better at saying goodbyes, because what even is a good bye? The promise of you seeing them again.
Here's to all those heartbroken souls out there.
Know that you are not alone.
And know that every damn cloud has a silver lining.
Ellis out!

Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.
