DUALITY will be here January 5th - have you pre-ordered it yet? FYI: if you want a signed Duality hardback, you need to pre-order it, as I don’t keep hardbacks in stock the way I do paperbacks. PREORDER DUALITY

With the impending end of Riven Worlds, I am already getting a lot of questions from readers about what comes next. Don’t worry - the end of Riven Worlds is not the end of Amaranthe. After Duality releases, I’ll do a blog post talking in greater depth about what the future holds for Amaranthe. Stay tuned. :)

Are you excited yet? I leave you with the first Duality teaser quote. You can see more teaser quotes on my website here as we get closer to release.

DUALITY Release Date, Cover Reveal & Blurb

DUALITY Release Date, Cover Reveal & Blurb

Who’s ready to end the infernal Rasu menace once and for all? Well, Alex, obviously. ;)

DUALITY, the finale of the Riven Worlds series, will be released on ** JANUARY 5, 2023. ** I’d hoped to get it to you in time for Christmas, but so much Real Life intervened.

You can pre-order DUALITY today at all major online retailers, including a signed paperback or hardback. PRE-ORDER DUALITY

Now, have a stunning cover reveal: See the cover HERE.

And the final blurb:

Humanity was granted their time to prepare. Now that it has come to an end, all Miriam Solovy wants is one more day.

The Rasu civil war engineered by Alex Solovy and Nika Kirumase has provided Concord the time it desperately needed. Every weapon, every technology, every tactic will be brought to bear in a bid to defend thousands of worlds and trillions of people from annihilation.

The enemy that emerges from the civil war victorious is like nothing Concord has ever faced. A boundless legion of Rasu—now interlinked and of one collective mind due to their integration of kyoseil—prepares to sweep across Concord space in a devastating tidal wave.

But there might be a way to stop them. It will mean two individuals must take upon themselves the burden of committing genocide, so the innocent beings they protect need never know how such an act comes with a price.

“There has never been a timeline like this one before.”

A war has been waged for endless aeons. Our greatest champions fight it again and again across millions of years, in a tireless endeavor to save not merely innumerable lives but existence itself.

With Mesme’s secret revealed, the enormity of the stakes is clear to all, and humanity and its allies are united as they brace for the return of the Rasu.

But the enemy has a secret, too—one that may ensure Concord’s destruction, as it has countless times before.

*

In Amaranthe, where exotic alien life, AIs, wormholes, indestructible starships and the promise of immortality rule the day, no feat seems out of reach for humanity. But when the worlds of Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir collide and the Rasu horde descends upon them both, more will be asked of heroes past and future. More will be given and more taken, and when the dust settles the very fabric of Amaranthe will be altered forever.

Dragon Con Schedule, New Collection Covers, & a Bundle of Free SFF

Dragon Con Schedule, New Collection Covers, & a Bundle of Free SFF

Dragon Con is next week, and I will be there! It runs Sept. 1-5 in Atlanta, and is one of the world’s largest celebrations of all thing sci-fi and fantasy: movies and TV, comics, of course books, and so much more. Get your tickets here. If you're going to be there, come see me whenever I'm at the Bard's Tower. You don't need to buy a paperback, promise - just stop by, say hello, and we'll take a pic together if you like. (Read the full post to see my schedule.)

Now, what is this madness? It's a comprehensive re-branding of the omnibus collections, that's what it is. One theme, one epic story, one beautiful set.

Important: the content has not changed - just the titles and covers. So if you've already got your "Complete Collections," you're good.

No, Volume VI isn't out yet - as per usual, it will come out 2-3 months after Duality does, and will include All Our Tomorrows, Chaotica & Duality (maybe some bonus material?). BUT, you can pre-order it today: https://www.gsjennsen.com/amaranthe-vi-verge.

Also no, the fact that the wheel is complete with VI does not mean that the story of Amaranthe ends there. But I am going to need a new wheel....

If you already own the Collections and you bought them from Amazon, you can get the new covers by removing the download on your Kindle then downloading the book again. (Note: don't "permanently delete" - just remove the download then re-download.)

Finally, I leave you with an epic giveaway of FREE sci-fi and fantasy ebooks.
