Now in Paperback! FORETOLD (Legends of the Forsaken Empire #4)

 

FORETOLD has been released in paperback! This series was hit with more delays than any I (R.J/Kacy) have ever experienced. Some pandemic-related, others due to my tumultuous work schedule, and at least five times by health struggles--my own and others'. Thank the Lord this series is finally complete~~celebrating!

While I'm delighted to wind up the series with FORETOLD, which is my largest-ever published book, I'm sad to bid farewell to the characters. We've been through so much together. 

What's next? I'm beginning research on a new volume in the Genesis Trilogy--a companion story that has haunted me (Kacy Barnett-Gramckow) for years. It's every bit as daunting as the original three volumes, but just as exciting, and I can't wait to dig in! 

Wish me blessings!

Praying for you all, 

R. J. Larson/Kacy Barnett-Gramckow

Foretold is now available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, Apple, and other online retailers.

Details-DETAILS!

Recently, I decided to practice sketching on a landscape from my imagination (and a Staedtler sample sketch), inspired by Legends of the Forsaken Empire, Forfeited, Book 1.

A field and meadow overlook the sleepy, mist-shrouded village of The Vales, with ancient ruins on the distant hillsides, and a grand chapel guarding its woods to the west. This seemingly tranquil pastoral scene is hiding secrets--one a symbol of a shattered faith, which future generations must restore.


Lost Chaplet Pendant detail

Legends of the Forsaken Empire follows a powerful family's struggles with faith, corruption, scandal, political battles, and--yes--some mysterious books and beasts, which shouldn't exist except in legends.

I hope my sketching skills progress to the point of offering readers glimpses of the mysterious beasts that hunt our beleaguered Legends characters.

Until then, here's a symbol of broken faith and a quiet village surrounded by a mist that's not as benign as it appears.


Let me know what you think!

Blessings,

R. J. (and Kacy)
