Rising Dawn Release Date
I have been dealing with some personal stuff in my life that has really affected my mental health and caused so many delays in my writing progress with Rising Dawn. The one thing I really hate is disappointing my readers, so I continued hoping I could to meet my deadline, but I had to come to terms with the fact that I won’t make November’s intended release date.
Could I do finish in a month? Probably… if I sacrifice my health and neglect my family. All things I am not willing to do. I’ve come to accept that missing my deadline is not a failure. I am simply taking the time to give this book the care it deserves. That goes for me, too.
I know it’s not ideal, and I am so sorry for any disappointment this may cause. I would love to get my books in your hands much faster, but this is what’s best for now. I hope you won’t be too upset with me.
I love this story and I love my readers. The quality of the work I put out there has always been important to me and that will never change. So that being said, the new release date for Rising Dawn is January 16th, 2024.

What does this mean for me?
The new release date will cause a shift in my schedule for the next books planned for both Chronicles and Guardians. King’s Kiss will likely become a summer release instead of spring, then GOTM 5 will release late 2025. It’s been nonstop writing and publishing since the release of Divine Blood. I need a little break.
Of course, I will still be here keeping you updated on everything behind the scenes with new snippets, merch, and art. Speaking of, check out the glorious art I have for you below!
Swoon with me over one of the most beautiful art pieces I have ever commissioned. @selenada.art has officially become my favorite artist because look at this stunning work. I swear she paints with magic in every stroke. The colors, the details, THE WAY HE IS LOOKING AT HER. My boy, Klyde, is smitten. How could he not be when Lucenna is absolutely beautiful. And doesn’t he look so handsome all cleaned up? I still can’t stop staring at it.
I don’t have a title for this artwork yet, but it will be featured in the Rising Dawn Print Pack, and it is from a scene in the book. I think you will be melting over what happens next. 🔮
GOTM merch:
Dyna plushie and dagger samples have arrived, and they look amazing. I will save that book box spoiler for the end of this email incase some of you may prefer to be surprised.
Other art commissions have been in the works for a bit now like new Zev art and a group illustration of all the Guardians.
Chronicles merch:
You know I also had to get more King’s Bride art and maybe a couple *cough* NSFW art for both book 1 and book 2. I saw the sketch for King’s Kiss exclusive under the dust jacket art and I might have screamed. 👀
I have also picked out the colors for Jokull and Sunneva’s pin! It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s magical. Reveal coming soon.
Oh, Cassiel. My poor sad boy. He made some bad choices, and believe me, he pays for them. Dyna does NOT take it easy on him. She is mean and petty and he grovels through all of it. ❤️🔥
Fun fact, Raiden was mentioned in Shattered Souls. (insert winky GIF here). Keep scrolling for box spoilers below!
That is all I have for now, darlings. Thank you so much for everything.
As always, stay safe and read good books,
xoxo

Isn’t she adorable!? Dyna pairs up perfectly with our grumpy Celestial. Her dress matches her outfit in the Rising Dawn artwork of her and Cassiel in the dynalya garden.
And those daggers! They are double sided with a pearl swirl finish on the hilts.
I’ll have an option to purchase both items separately after all box preorders have shipped. ✨
