Everyone Else Is Waiting. The Legion Is Already Reading.

The Tiger’s Battle is finished.

At more than 170,000 words, it is one of the largest—and most ambitious—novels I have ever written. The manuscript is now with my editorial team as we prepare it for publication.

But members of the Legion don’t have to wait for publication day.

Chapter 29 was posted Friday, and two new chapters are being released every week. Join today and you can immediately begin with Chapter 1 and read all 29 chapters currently available.

What Else is Available to Read Right Now?

The Tiger’s Battle

Return to Stiger’s world and experience his greatest campaign as it unfolds. You can begin with Chapter 1 today and read through Chapter 29, with two additional chapters arriving every week. (Tier Dependent)

The Corvinus Stories/Shorts

Set shortly before and during the events of The Tiger’s Battle, these exclusive stories follow Corvinus and the Fifth Mal’Zeelan Cavalry Cohort as they campaign against the Castol on the brutal northern front.

Leading nearly two hundred imperial cavalrymen through a bitter winter, Corvinus faces deep snow, dwindling supplies, enemy ambushes, desperate battles, and the terrible choices that come with command. His stories reveal another side of the war—and events taking place far beyond Stiger’s immediate view that you won’t see in the main novel.

No Good Deed

Ben Stiger and Eli together in an exclusive adventure you won’t find anywhere else. If you have ever wondered what might happen when these two reader favorites enter a shady tavern… this is your chance to find out.

Explore the Backlist

Most of my backlist is also available for the Legion, giving members the opportunity to discover—or revisit—many of my earlier novels and series while waiting for each new chapter to arrive.

Your First Look at Marcus’s Story

​

Check out the new cover concept for Marcus’s Story. (Marcus the Scout and Aver’Mons) Members are watching this tale take shape before I write the first chapter—and they will be the first to read it when the story begins.

What’s Coming Next?

I am already preparing to write the next Stiger Chronicles novel:

The Tiger’s War

The earliest chapters of The Tiger’s War will be released to the Legion first, just as I am doing with The Tiger’s Battle.

Marcus’s Story will also make its debut there, giving Legion members the first opportunity to read both projects as they are written.

More Than Early Chapters

Membership also gives you access to:

• Exclusive short stories and fiction
• Behind-the-scenes writing updates
• Worldbuilding, history, and lore
• Concept art and early cover reveals
• First looks at upcoming projects
• Character features and deleted material
• Polls, discussions, and dore
• A growing community of readers who love these worlds
• A quarterly video call with Marc

Your direct support also helps me continue investing in professional editing, original artwork, and the additional stories that expand these worlds beyond the main novels.

The Legion Sees What Comes Next—First

If you have been waiting for The Tiger’s Battle, now is your opportunity to begin reading it today.

Join the Legion, start with Chapter 1, and follow the campaign all the way to its conclusion.

Today is launch day for Razor’s Edge, the third book in the Command Decision series, currently available in eBook, Print and Kindle Unlimited. The war is escalating, the stakes have never been higher, and Captain Steele and his crew are once again being pushed to the razor’s edge. I am incredibly excited to finally put this book into your hands.

Launch day never gets old. Every book represents months of writing, rewriting, editing, and wondering whether I have done the story justice. Seeing Razor’s Edge finally reach readers is both exhilarating and a little terrifying. I am incredibly proud of this book, and I cannot wait for you to experience what Captain Steele and his crew face next.

If you would like to help make the launch a success, the most valuable things you can do: read the book, leave an honest review, and tell another science-fiction reader about the series. Those simple actions make an enormous difference—especially during launch week.

​

You can grab your copy here:

​https://geni.us/Razo​

Also, book one, Forged in Battle is discounted today and on sale.

If you’ve not started the series yet, the story begins here:

​https://geni.us/ForgedI​

​

If you have already started reading, I would love to hear what you think. Reviews are tremendously important—especially during a book’s first few days—and even a few sentences can help new readers discover the series.

The Tiger’s Battle Update

I also have some exciting news for readers of The Stiger Chronicles.

​

The Tiger’s Battle is now in the hands of my editorial team. As soon as the first edit is complete, the manuscript will move on to a Big Picture Edit—a comprehensive look at the story, pacing, character arcs, and the book as a whole.

This is one of the largest and most ambitious Stiger books I have ever written, and I want to make certain it is everything it deserves to be before it reaches you.

Even as the editorial work continues, I have already begun the planning for Book Ten, preparing to outline it.

The title will be:

The Tiger’s War

There is still a great deal ahead for Stiger, Eli, and the legions—and I have no intention of slowing down.

Don’t Want to Wait to get your hands on the Tiger’s Battle?

You don’t have to.

Patreon members are already enjoying The Tiger’s Battle. Currently, you can read through Chapter 28 with two new chapters dropping each week. You can follow the story as it unfolds and experience the next stage of Stiger’s journey long before the finished book is published.

​https://www.patreon.com/c/marcalanedelheit/membership​

Don’t forget: There is a 7 day Free trial for the Camp Prefect tier.

Patreon is also where you can follow Corvinus and the Fifth Mal’Zeelan Cohort as they campaign in the north against the Castol. These stories explore another front in the war and follow Corvinus and his mounted horse soldiers through the brutal challenges, battles, and hard choices awaiting them beyond the main novels.

Members have access to an exclusive Stiger and Eli short story, along with behind-the-scenes updates, historical posts, early looks at upcoming projects, deep dives into the universe of my writing and other material from the worlds I am building. Also, most of my Backlist is available on Patreon!

Why Patreon Matters

Supporting me through Patreon does more than give you early access to stories.

It allows me to spend more time writing, editing, and expanding these worlds. It helps fund professional editing, artwork, and the many other costs involved in producing the books. Most importantly, it gives me the freedom to write additional stories, the way I want to write them—like the adventures of Corvinus—that might never fit into the regular publishing schedule.

Every member, at every level, helps make the next story possible.

If you enjoy my books and want to play a direct role in helping me create more of them, I would be honored to have you join the ranks of the legion.

We Are the Legion

The Legion is more than a Patreon page. It is a community of readers who believe in these stories, support the worlds I am building, and help make the next adventure possible. If these worlds have become a part of yours, take your place in the ranks.

I’ll Be at Dragon Con!

I’ll be attending Dragon Con again this year. If you are going, I would love to see you come out to the Writers Track. Please stop to say hello if you spot me!

If there is enough interest, we may also organize an informal Legion gathering for coffee or drinks. It would be wonderful to spend some time together away from the convention crowds.

Are you going to Dragon Con? Hit reply and let me know!

A huge Thank you:

Thank you for reading, for supporting my work, and for continuing to accompany me into these worlds. You are the reason I keep writing.

Today belongs to Razor’s Edge. I hope you enjoy the adventure—and I cannot wait to hear what you think. Who is your favorite character in the Command Decision series—and what has been your favorite moment so far? Hit reply and tell me. I read every response.

Hello, everyone!

I have a great deal of exciting news to share, beginning with an update on The Tiger’s Battle.

I have just finished Chapter 30 of a planned 43 chapters. The manuscript currently stands at 553 pages and 128,261 words, and the story is moving along very nicely.

This is going to be a substantial book. I expect the finished manuscript to come in at around or over 200,000 words, making it one of the largest adventures in the series next to The Tiger’s Time.

The book is packed with action, including several major—and increasingly desperate—battles as Stiger and his army fight for survival against the Castol. The war has grown in scale, the stakes continue to rise, and the characters are being pushed harder than ever before.

I know you are going to love it.
