A New Beginning for Shadows in St. Mungo’s
🕑 Added 2025-05-02 19:41:32 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
I’m excited to share that I’ve officially begun releasing the completely rewritten version of the Shadows in St. Mungo’s trilogy — which includes The Mind Burns Last, The Secrets of Avalon, and Beyond the Veil.
Originally, The Mind Burns Last was never intended to be part of a trilogy. It started as a standalone story. But as the narrative unfolded and new ideas began to take shape, I realized the world and its characters had much more to offer. That evolution brought along some challenges, and the original structure began to clash with the broader vision I was developing.
Rather than continue trying to reshape a story that wasn’t built for that scale, I chose to return to the beginning and rebuild everything with more intention, now fully aware of the trilogy’s scope and emotional core.
This rewrite is about giving more care to how things happen — to the rhythm of events, the depth of the characters, and the themes that run through all three books. I want this version to be the one that truly reflects the story I set out to tell.
Thank you for your continued support and patience during this process. It means the world to me.
As a reward, I'll be making the first three chapters of The Mind Burns Last available later today. As well as the new schedule for releasing the chapters. I hope you enjoy them.
More soon,
The Writer.
