When we made our announcement about Ever Reign last week, we managed to be confusing and got questions from some of our new readers and listeners. We also got a lot of enthusiastic comments about Caspian, Hermes and Illarion! OLD Dragon's Reign podcast (very amateur!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_JkRUUTpxWH1A5DgXcc9wQnT8SogvRlB | COMPLETED Ever Dark podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_JkRUUTpxWEyrsBZ-1iqSfgB-KfR3IuQ | Membership sale: https://raythereign.com/index.php/membership-plans | Ever Reign themed candle boxes: https://shop.raythereign.com/shop/ever-reign-celebration-launch-box/ | Answer to biggest question: Ever Reign is a WRITTEN SERIAL STORY on RaytheReign.com. It's text! Not audio. The same way every story starts out. | At this point, we don't have any plans on the schedule to make it an audio story in 2026. We've already gotten in trouble this year for "talking too far ahead" like a game studio, and then having to seriously rethink our plans. (Don't worry EDA is coming out in February.)

Illarion gets a boyfriend, and he's a CAT PERSON! Tilly, Illarion and the dogs are left in charge while the adults are on vacation. That's right it's the epic sequel to Dragon's Reign starting this month for Members with 4 chapters on the schedule.

Do you like having shorter episodes? You'll still get the same chapter, just broken up into installments. Some readers love the long episodes and some of them think that anything over 15 minutes looks indimidating. Tell us where you fall in the comments!

Ok we're like those little kids who spoil Christmas surprises in November. We aren't *officially* launching Ever Dary Academy, but so many people just wanted to hear the first 2 chapters that we had to put them up! ~ ⭐How far is the Member podcast?⭐ Chapters are uploaded to the Membership every Friday, and October 10 brings you Chapter 10. We're launching the EDA podcast in February. If you want to hear the chapters NOW, you can sign up here: https://raythereign.com/index.php/membership-plans

We got held up with ambition and ideas, but we're running the Ever Dark Academy podcast for Members starting in September. (We ARE bringing it to the public with a bigger experience than we had before, which was... just running the chapters.)

Where are we with order fulfillment? We are super close to uploading the list to the printer, so please please get your address updated if you need to. Email marketing@raythereign.com and we'll check.
