Next Book: Clan and Covenant

 

Definition:

Covenant: (noun) an agreement

A pretty apt title for an arranged clanship, which is the featured clan's situation. If you don't recognize the pics from the cover of First Mataras: Michaela, the next Clan Beginnings book features Clan Korkla. We're going way back, about forty years before the events of Alien Rule, for this tale in which we get to see Korkla, Raxstad, and Govi come together as a clan.

I hope to have this out early next year...no later than March, if all goes well. At present, the plot includes:

Twenty-somethings Korkla and Raxstad, promised to each other from a young age, surprised by their parents with a third arranged clanmate in the person of Govi;

Govi, unwilling to be clanned quite yet and coping with pressures as a new psychologist;

and danger at the Royal House, where Korkla works as a page, centered on a teenage Clajak.

As I'm just starting to write this, nothing is set in stone. We'll have to see how it pans out, but that's the current plan.
