When we made our announcement about Ever Reign last week, we managed to be confusing and got questions from some of our new readers and listeners. We also got a lot of enthusiastic comments about Caspian, Hermes and Illarion! OLD Dragon's Reign podcast (very amateur!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_JkRUUTpxWH1A5DgXcc9wQnT8SogvRlB | COMPLETED Ever Dark podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_JkRUUTpxWEyrsBZ-1iqSfgB-KfR3IuQ | Membership sale: https://raythereign.com/index.php/membership-plans | Ever Reign themed candle boxes: https://shop.raythereign.com/shop/ever-reign-celebration-launch-box/ | Answer to biggest question: Ever Reign is a WRITTEN SERIAL STORY on RaytheReign.com. It's text! Not audio. The same way every story starts out. | At this point, we don't have any plans on the schedule to make it an audio story in 2026. We've already gotten in trouble this year for "talking too far ahead" like a game studio, and then having to seriously rethink our plans. (Don't worry EDA is coming out in February.)

Illarion gets a boyfriend, and he's a CAT PERSON! Tilly, Illarion and the dogs are left in charge while the adults are on vacation. That's right it's the epic sequel to Dragon's Reign starting this month for Members with 4 chapters on the schedule.
