The Tales From Veynekan Book #2: Catalysts has been released in eBook and paperback!

It is a direct continuation of book #1: The Flaming Queen

The Tales From Veynekan is my fantasy xenofiction series following mythical animals and their battles to live on despite the continent becoming forsaken in the eyes of their own Guardian.

"The sudden awakening of Veynekan's missing Guardian Phoenix shook the land. Enraged, Guardian Astiriuh declared he would eliminate all inhabits on the continent of Veynekan.

Flossie and Hamara set out to gather the remaining fragments known as Catalysts: shards of physical magic created by the Guardian before his disappearance long ago.

The survival of all beasts depends on them and their allies obtaining these fragments in order to defeat the Guardian before his onslaught can begin."

2026 might be the year my third book will be finished + would conclude the first TTFV arc. ?
