And huge shout-out to @eli.cl.designs (on Instagram) who made this video for me. And who also put 'anticipated' in because she is the best.

I am SO excited. THE VOID DRAGON is my favourite thing I've ever written. It contains everything I love about fantasy: magic, dragons, court politics, friends turned to rivals, a MAGIC DUEL, betrayal, love won, and love lost. I am SO EXCITED to share it with the world.

What Omar has failed to include is that when I did eventually steal a car, I didn’t control it well and immediately ran over a person. So from zero crime to on the run for murder just like that. It’s a slippery slope…

Thank you for reading! 🧡 And that’s so nice to hear - I was definitely inspired by Istanbul as a city of East meets West!

A dark figure wearing a loose flowing robe standing on top of a sand dune with further dunes stretching into the distance. A large red disc that graduates to yellow surrounded by a circle of Arabic designs and an outer circle of glyphs. The title of the book is in black over the red disc.

The Outcast Mage by @annabelcwrites.bsky.social

Epic fantasy and perfect for fans of Trudi Canavan and S A Chakraborty. It has been very apt reading this while in Istanbul as this is also a land straddling East and West. Very much looking forward to the next instalment.
