I’m sorry :( I’ve given this a lot of thought. That’s how strongly I feel about TOWMTF being a standalone, as a creator.Īs for the other question-what happens at the end/after-that, unfortunately, is one that I’ve decided I can no longer answer. The publisher could offer me a contract for the sequel and I’d turn it down. Their arcs are fulfilled, their themes belabored upon. There is no story left for me to tell in this particular world, with these particular characters. Here is the question that I can answer: there is no sequel. What actually happens at the end/to the characters of THE ONES WE’RE MEANT TO FIND? Will there be a sequel? Strictly speaking, you do not! I elaborate on this further in the 3rd question of this interview. So no, not a standalone, and yes, there’s one more book coming your way to round out Zephyr’s story!įor more information on how STRIKE THE ZITHER became a series, read this.ĭo I need to knowledge of Three Kingdoms (the classic that STRIKE THE ZITHER is based on) to read STRIKE THE ZITHER? STRIKE THE ZITHER is the first book in the Kingdom of Three duology. Is STRIKE THE ZITHER a standalone or a series? And I hope it’ll assuage your fears to know that I’ll dream more realistically from here on out :’) The art of the story would have trumped any contractual obligations, and I hope you’ll understand that I selfishly chose to be the “artist” for my debut. If it’s any small comfort, Hesina’s journey in DESCENDANT would have always ended the way that it did regardless of if I’d sold in a one book, two book, or three book deal. I know this is the worst news for a reader, and I’m really sorry to be delivering it. However, due to a number of factors, it wasn’t possible for me to expand on that bigger story for a long time, and now I’ve fully moved on as a creator. They’d follow the points of views of characters you haven’t yet met (while bringing in the old cast), and complete the bigger story that’s introduced in the epilogue of DESCENDANT OF THE CRANE. Her story and character arc were always meant to be 80% wrapped up in one book any future books would have been closer to companion novels. Even if I were to write more books, they wouldn’t be from Hesina’s point of view. Is there a sequel for DESCENDANT OF THE CRANE?Īlas, there isn’t.
