Hey everyone!
Gather 'round, grab your popcorn (or coffee, or whatever fuels your binge-reading), because I've got some updates hotter than your laptop after 5 hours of nonstop scrolling.
First off: Throne Carved in Shadows is finally dropping on June 12. If you like your stories dark, twisty, and filled with people who have way too many secrets, then this one's for you. Think of it as the perfect excuse to ignore your responsibilities. "Sorry, boss, can't come to work—I'm busy watching fictional people carve shadows into thrones." Priorities, am I right?
Now, onto The Incursed One. No, I'm not canceling it, not finishing it tomorrow, and definitely not leaving you hanging after a couple dozen chapters. This baby is a monster—at least 200+ chapters long—and Ash's saga is only getting wilder from here. So, if you were hoping for a quick wrap-up… well, better grab a comfy chair and a lifetime supply of snacks. Because this rollercoaster? It's gonna last.
For my loyal fans of Looping Time — brace yourselves! Arc 2 wraps up this Sunday, June 8. Yep, that's right, mark your calendars! Then, we give ourselves a little breather (because even authors need naps), and Arc 3 kicks off on July 1. So don't get too comfy—more time loops, romance, and action are coming your way.
And just when you thought I was out of surprises, here's a plot twist worthy of its own novel:
I'm working on something new. Something different. Something with… no magic. No glowing swords. No world-saving heroes with special powers.
I'm talking about Dark Centuries. Coming late August or September, it's a gritty, realistic thriller where brains and guns do the talking.
Now, about the main character: you won't know his name right away (because mystery is the spice of life). He's kind of like that one masked side character who pops up unexpectedly, messes things up, and makes you wonder, "Wait, who's that guy again?"
This teenage mastermind builds a secret black-ops squad made up of people life hasn't exactly been kind to—bullied kids, war survivors, the usual "I've had better days" crew. Publicly, someone else gets all the credit (because, you know, appearances matter). But behind the scenes? Our mystery guy is the real puppet master, pulling strings, starting fires, and probably ordering way too much takeout.
Picture this: a 16-year-old Batman if Batman was way younger, had zero family support, and thought "ruthless ideology" was the latest TikTok trend.
So yeah, no magic. Just masks, guns, and a whole lot of "What did I just read?" moments.
Thanks a million for sticking around, laughing at my terrible jokes, and supporting my stories—even when I take forever to update or throw in a plot twist that makes you scream at your screen. You're the real MVPs.
Let's finish some epic journeys and start new ones—hopefully with fewer cliffhangers and more caffeine.
Catch you in the shadows,
— Shadow King
