Gravesong - Patreon Advance Copy (Patreon)

This is it. I have spent multiple multiple days of this 2-week break...resting. And revising! But also resting.

But also revising! Because I will take a long break after Volume 8 is done, but I cannot rest easy with Gravesong or Volume 8 unfinished. And oh, it has been a long time. One year? Two years! Two years and we are closing in on the book finally coming out.

I will not bore you long; I'm writing an Author's Note for the end of it, but this is what you need to know: this is a PATREON ONLY advance copy of Gravesong. I call it Draft 3, which means it is very close to being ready for publication. Diana will help me polish any remaining parts, but I would like to believe I've added at least 40k words of revisions. There is always more I can do, but this is functionally a complete work. 

To use a Toren metaphor, imagine this is an undead skeleton. If there are new parts, think of it like Toren replacing his hand or polishing bones; the body remains. 

The only big removal will be song lyrics, which I have no copyright for...yet. The published version will have them in, but I have edited them all out in this version. You can still see the song name in such places, but the experience in changed and that is the one huge difference I can point to.

Please do not share this or leak it. I understand there are people who may do this, but this is going to be a book. On the other hand, I am content to show you early because it matters, because you are great readers of TWI who made books like this possible, and because I think the book will sell well regardless of whether I publish it or not--especailly because you can buy the audiobook and physical book, a TWI first!

Enough rambling. You can read the author's notes...after the entire novel! This is it! Gravesong! (160,000 Words)
