This snippet comes from War of the Nameless, book 3 in The Relics of War series.

With a twisty plot filled with magic, immortal politics, & a bit of mayhem, not to mention the return of some wonderful characters, Redneck Revenant by David R Slayton was a great time (I adore this series!)

Rogue Community College by David R Slayton is part magical academia, part murder-mystery, with a dash of romance, all built upon the realms featured in the Adam Binder series - there is magic, inter-realm politics, undead, and more. It's fun!

The author and one of her books...
I chose to showcase Serpentus today because I love this book (I could say that about all of my books, but this is in my top 3 favorites of the 11 I've published.)

Here's a snippet from Exile for your Saturday.
Fun fact: I have had both a reader say this story is "too dark" and a review that said it was "not dark enough" in the last month.
It has dark moments, but I have never marketed it as being dark. Read it and decide for yourself...

Did you know Serpentus can be read as either a standalone/intro to my Relics of War series, OR as a supplement to it?
It's one of my favorite things I've ever written (despite its darkness.)

While I was writing The Caein Legacy, Rynn became one of my favorite side characters. She's an ice mage, and fiercely loyal to those she considers friends.
I redacted the name of the character she's interacting with in this snippet due to spoilers (but iykyk!)

![Rynn's eyes blazed with righteous indignation. She clenched her jaw and loomed over him, unrelenting.
[Redacted] cried out as visible icicles appeared, encasing his arm up to the shoulder.
"I said, you will not touch him." Her voice was a growl filled with unmitigated rage.
"I won't...be bested by a...filthy...mage," [he] spat as he attempted to sit upright.

Guilt or Regret?
The Caein Legacy: I think Andrew experiences a little of both, but more guilt than regret.
Wraith & the Revolution: Regret. A lot of it.
The Fontayne Company (WIP): Zel *should* feel guilty for some of his pranks, but he doesn't 😅

How would your MC react to a haunted house?
Zel from the Fontayne Company duology is the reason the house is haunted 🤣 And he'd play pranks on anyone who came to visit.
Kye from Wraith would go in hoping to be scared (he's into the horror genre)
