I'm back!
🕑 Added 2024-09-08 04:32:34 +0000 UTCVERY sorry for the long absence. A lot of shit happened, but the main thing that I was having trouble with was the direction of the third book.
I have learned after trying to write a couple hundred aborted books that I need to have an ending firmly in mind before I really start the process so that the book doesn't peter out like a deflating balloon.
As I've mentioned, I started this whole thing one day because I had a dream and went "that'd make a fun book." I then put it on Royal road as a means to make sure I actually finished the damned thing. It worked! But now I have this trilogy/quartet (we'll see how it goes) and I don't want the ending to land like a Hefty bag filled with soup.
I've got an idea of how I want the book to end now, and a direction to take the third book. And because of that, I've revised the jacket blurb I posted over a month ago.

Perdition Embraced
Colm has been through a lot. Pirates. Cultists. Existential nightmares. Literal nightmares. The latest in a long line of insanity inducing trauma is the loss of his memories.
But he doesn’t let that stop him. Slowly, achingly, Colm remolds his memories. It’s a unique process that leaves him… different. But the question: “is he the same man as before he lost his memories?” isn’t important to him. The process of regaining his memories may have changed him, but what hasn’t changed is his desire to protect those important to him.
After three years, he finally deems himself healed. Now, there’s a few problems he needs to handle because everyone else has cocked it up: two avatar’s of the Distiller, the impending collapse of society (he’s hoping killing the former will handle the latter), the various organizations that want him dead, the sudden explosion of amateur magic that tore the curtain on the hidden world of the Occult, and…
It’s time to kill the Doorman.
Of course, before he can do all of that, he needs to escape super magic prison—without, you know… killing anyone. Or getting into a fight with the prison’s demigod warden.
Oh, and he should figure out a way to keep reality from being devoured by an infinitely vast cosmic entity that wants to reduce everything in existence to it’s base atoms. Just… you know.
Throw it on the list.
