Peace is impossible while the family survives!
As the Northern Alliance threatens the Stormwind's power, the family retaliates, forcing the rulers of the Petty Kingdoms to bend to their will. Hoping to finally end the family’s influence, Athgar and Natalia travel to Abelard for a secret meeting, striking a deal for the future of Therengia. With a bold plan to destroy the Volstrum, they must cross Zaran, where the brave vanish and the foolhardy lose their minds. Is there truth in the stories of dangerous beasts, or are they just tales meant to frighten children? Struggling through the wilderness, with danger threatening at every turn, they seek solace in the knowledge that their sacrifice will lead to a future without strife. Only when they discover a secret long lost to the annals of history do they see a beacon of hope. The end is coming—a titanic clash of the most powerful mages on the Continent. Witness the ultimate confrontation in Cataclysm, Paul J Bennett’s epic conclusion to The Frozen Flame series.

Enemy of the Crown's current word count is 60,000, which is roughly fifty percent complete. I’m presently right in the middle of writing chapter twenty and will be finished with the second act in a couple of days.
The story is pretty much sticking to the outline, with the characters where they’re supposed to be (for the moment!). The stakes have just been raised regarding the overall plot, but I can’t give you any more details without spoilers. Sorry, not sorry. Suffice it to say that I’m on track, schedule-wise, to be finished writing before the end of July, then I'll be starting on Warrior Prince, book six in the Power Ascending series. Enemy of the Crown, the twelfth main book in the Heir to the Crown series, is proceeding nicely, already sitting at a word count of 33,500, and I’m almost done writing chapter eleven.
My estimated length of this book is 120,000, and the outline includes thirty-six chapters. That means chapter twelve would mark the end of the first act (which it does according to my outline), although my word count may be just shy of 40,000 by that time. I’m not too worried, though. There are already indications I may be adding a chapter or two, as the characters are providing some twists of their own. |
