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.

What Else Is Available?Patreon members receive access to much more than early chapters of The Tiger’s Battle. A large portion of my backlist is available there for download, along with exclusive stories, behind-the-scenes material, worldbuilding posts, concept art, and updates on everything I am currently working on. You will also find the Corvinus short stories, of which a third is about to be released, likely today or tomorrow following his personal war in the North. The Corvinus stories take place shortly before and during the events of The Tiger’s Battle. They follow Corvinus and his cavalry cohort as the war against the Castol unfolds around them, offering another perspective on the campaign, the battles, and the terrible choices being made beyond Stiger’s immediate view. These stories expand the war and reveal events that you will not see in the main novel. They are available exclusively on Patreon. Members can also read No Good Deed, the Stiger and Eli novella exploring an adventure from their early years together, along with posts about the worlds of Stigerverse, exclusive concept art, and behind-the-scenes looks at my writing process. There’s much more. Head on over and check it all out. https://www.patreon.com/c/marcalanedelheit/membership Razor’s Edge Arrives August 28
