Shalaeyah means 'hello' in Tyra Tarkush. Tyra Tarkush is the 'first' language in the world of my book series. 'The Spine of the Empire', in that same world, is the communication network of the Empire, the organization and government of the races in the universe.

I felt the need to get Chatzu’kuan done. She just…needed to be rendered into life. So I commissioned AR Sullivan for art of Chatzu’kuan. Chatzu’kuan not from any particular point in the series, but of a future state version of her. After she’s figured herself out, basically. This is also a quasi-companion piece to Spellbinder’s art. I wanted them to be posing so they could be ‘next’ to each other. The background didn’t have to be consistent, though. I wanted...
Spoilers for everything major I’ve written beyond Amethyst Shards. Do not read if you don’t know what I mean by this.
