This brings us to the final Hall of Blood and Mercy themed post. Already I’ve begun writing my next manuscript (The Prince’s Bargain, Elves of Lessa #3 for those who are curious) but I’ve been getting a lot of questions from Champions wondering if I’ll ever return to Hazel and Killian’s world, or if I’ll ever revist these characters, so I thought I would do one last blog post.
Hall of Blood and Mercy is a trilogy, and I won’t be adding on any additional books because I feel like I’ve successfully told Hazel’s and Killian’s story. However!
I’ve fallen in love with their world, and just because I won’t add onto their trilogy doesn’t mean I don’t have any additional plans for a new trilogy! So I’m officially confirming that you can expect to see a new trilogy in this world–probably in mid to late summer 2021. The series will be about…
OOHHHHH, YES, I WENT THERE! The next trilogy will follow Leila and will focus on the Night Court and the chaos it’s been thrown into since the death of the previous Night Queen and her Consort.
The Paragon–and Aphrodite and Bagel the donkey, of course–will make an appearance in Leila’s series, and you’ll even get to see glimpses of Hazel and Killian as well!
But I won’t be writing this trilogy until after I write Fairy Tale Enchantress Book 4, Trial of Magic. And since the quick release worked so well for Hazel’s series, I plan to do the same for Leila’s series and again release all three books in under two months, which means it will be over a year before you get to follow Leila on her adventures.
Regardless, I hope you’re excited! Thanks for reading, Champions, and thank you for embracing this new story world. 😉
Just for my sanity, please clarify: how do you personally pronounce her name, Kitty? Is it Lee-La, or Lay-la? I’ve known people who use the same spelling both ways.
Oh, really? I’ve never heard it pronounced Lee-la, but it sounds pretty!
I must be psychic cuz I had a feeling Leila was getting her own story. 😀
Eeeee!!!!
More books! Yay Kitty! You’re awesome! Thanks! Yet more things to look forward to!
It will be great to read another trilogy in the same world, especially Leila’s story. I think she will turn out to be Queen Nyte’s daughter, and love interest will be Paragon…?
But yes, am so very eagerly waiting for the FTE book 4! Kitty, could you please confirm if it will be out this year? I really really want Evariste’s POV of being rescued! And to see how Angelique got the point that she did (in personal growth)… And of course, what the Chosen are up to! So many things to figure out… 🙂
Me too! I absolutely love Evariste and Angelique! And I can’t wait to see what Evariste thinks of Angel rescuing him! And I reeeally want to know if he will unseal his magic…
Ah yes! That’s the question on which the whole story hinges 😃 not if, but when and how will Evariste unseal his magic…
And what is Angel’s reaction to what he has to do to unseal his magic. Honestly, these two think clearly about everything except their relationship. But, then again, I guess that’s probably true about any romantic relationship that hasn’t been acknowledged yet by the participants.
YESSSSSS I absolutely cannot wait for the next book.
I was thinking that Leila could be Queen Nyte’s daughter and that is why she resents the Fae. I would love to see that possibility
I’m wondering if she’s not Nyte’s daughter, but daughter to the former king Nyte killed (does that make Nyte her stepmother?)
I’m so excited to get a story on Leila. She definitely peeked my interest. I’m also really looking forward to EoL #3 and FTE #4. You are going to be one very busy young lady. Have fun! 😁🤪
This is so freaking exciting!! I can’t believe Leila is a night court Fae!! I had my suspicions….. Anywho, Can you give us a hint of her love interest? *wiggles eyebrows*
The Paragon perhaps?
Isn’t he older than her??
Given that it has been mentioned a lot of times that he is not as old as he appears to be, I wouldn’t push the idea out. It could be like what she did with Merlin.
Erm, Killian is like 300 at least and Hazel is in her mid-twenties, that’s kind of a significant age gap too. I was skeptical in HoBM book 1 but they won me over by the end. And who knows, it may turn out Leila is older than the Paragon given the strong hints that the Paragon is much younger than the appearance he uses. That might be a fun flip since people seem more accepting of age gaps between romantic partners when it’s the man who’s older.
Yep, that’s quite a cliche. And we can always trust Kitty to break those.
The Lady series by WE Gingell (thank you, Kitty, for introducing me to this wonderful author!) had some romances where the guy is a good bit like younger than the girl, if you wanna try it out. it’s a fantastic series!
Hmmm… I wonder if a certain grouchy red-haired vampire will make an appearance.
Very awesome!! I loved this series. But where does this leave AM Sohma works??
While I’m very excited about this announcement, I agree with Tasha’s concern. I would love to get a Second Age of Retha book thrown in the mix.
Agreed. Kit and Miles have been left in limbo waaayy to long. Any takers for a bet that Miles will start chipping away Kit’s beliefs that he has a special someone outside of Retha in the next book. Any antics between those two shall be soooo much fun to read.
I personally think that (on the ‘bet’) Miles will slowly up his persuasions from subtle side comments to telling her straight to her face while shaking her…with crazy plans promoted by Riko and Prowl thrown some where in between.
Yes!! I can get behind this!
I have to agree. I am super excited for the next FTE book and I am very excited to find out about Leila, but I think of all the series you have going, Kitty, I’m most excited to read the next Second Age of Retha book.
Yay!! I am so glad we’re getting more of this world! Urban fantasy isn’t usually my gig, but when it comes to my favorite author I can’t help but love them all. 😉 I also can’t wait for FTE #4 and Elves of Lessa #3. Looking forward to the next few years!
Yippee! So excited!
Woohoo! I suspected there would be more when you raised the idea that someone was behind the Fae and the night court’s shenanigans pulling their strings.
Yeah and the Paragon’s been searching for something, right? That never got cleared up.
Ohh, you’re right! I wanna know!
Whoo! Super excited about Leila’s story in the future, a year really isn’t that long to wait and will breeze by! I totally expect to be blown away and sucked in to the world you created 🙂. Also Yes! I am so ready for the 4th Fairy Tale Enchantress book.
I am too!! I love reading about Angel and Evariste
I literally cannot wait for the 4th book i wonder if Evariste will unseal his magic 😉
