After months of surviving almost entirely on tea, stubbornness, and questionable amounts of keyboard clicking, local fantasy author Autumn M. Birt has finally emerged from what experts are calling “an alarming editing cave.”
Witnesses report the author blinked several times at the sunlight before asking, “Wait… it’s July?”
Authorities confirm the lengthy disappearance was caused by repeated encounters with Bane of Dark Gods, a manuscript widely believed to have consumed every spare evening, weekend, and available brain cell in the surrounding region.
The good news? The beast has finally been tamed.
Bane of Dark Gods is now available for preorder and officially releases August 12, giving readers just enough time to finish Magic Unleashed before everything inevitably becomes more complicated for poor Raor.
Scholars remain divided on whether his decision-making improves in Book Two.
Early evidence continues to suggest absolutely not.
Autumn was last seen smiling suspiciously while muttering something about “writing the final book.” Experts fear she may already be wandering back toward the cave.
Developing story.

Goldie has obtained the first official cover of Bane of Dark Gods.
She assures readers she acquired it through perfectly legitimate means.
Autumn insists there was “absolutely no pixie-related theft involved.”
One of these statements may be inaccurate.
