I created an account on this site to tell you how much I love your story, the moment I read the first chapter I became completely engrossed in it. Your style of writing seems so appealing and the content of the story shows how talented you are. So in short I just wanted to say how much I am in love with your story, and wanted to know. Will there be a volume 3 in the future?

Sorry for not replying sooner! I had not checked this thread for a while. Thanks for your comments!!! I'm really happy that you like the story and the writing style. I hope that you will continue to read the rest of it.

Yes, volume 3 is in the works. I am currently at chapter 5 of the first draft (around 1/3 of the entire volume). After I finish the first draft, I will do a full edit. After that, I will work on the illustrations while I do my final edit and upload it chapter by chapter. It might take about 2 months, maybe more, for the first chapter to get uploaded.

I'm sorry that it takes so long. I have thought about uploading chapter by chapter without finishing the volume, but I find that I change A LOT of things during my first full volume edit.

Volume 3 will have a lot more action than the first two volumes. It will also be significantly longer in terms of word count. The chapters should still retain the 15+epilogue format used in the first two books. Please look forward to it!

Great news! My editor for volume 1, Kyle Tolray, has agreed to edit volume 2 as well! He just finished with chapter 4, but I will not be uploading the edited version until the entire volume is completed. There will be content changes as well, but I will reference them in volume 3 footnotes so that readers who finished the unedited volume 2 will not get lost. They are minor details and will not really change the main story, but they make the narrative feel more cohesive.

I have also added a Volume 3 progress page in the blog and moved the Character Profiles to the top menu because it does not really belong to any specific volume and gets updated as the story progresses.

Thanks to all those who have left comments in the blog!

Volume 3 cover page and Chapter One: Dangerous Games is up!!!

Here is the volume synopsis:
After finding a new mistress, the lost killer is thrust into a den of monsters.
The devil tames a storm and ventures forth to fulfill her ambition and regain what she has lost.
Two women learn the meaning of sacrifice.
Foes, old and new, sharpen their fangs and join the battle royal.

I will be uploading the chapters as I finish the final edits and illustrations. One or two a week should be the normal pace.

I hope everyone enjoys the third volume of this story! This is generally less dark than the second volume, with tons more comedy and action. Any comments are appreciated.
