Greetings Everyone,
After years of sidetracks, not the least of which were the rewriting of the first two volumes of the series, I’ve finally managed to make some progress on the third volume of the Chronicles of Aertu. The initial working title is “Empire of the South”. I’m still not totally sold on this title but that’s what I have for now.
Update 31 July 2025:
The prologue was published here for quite some time, but I switched to a different format and will host the entire document on a page, announcing updates via blog post.
Here is the draft manuscript as it currently stands for your enjoyment and review. Please let me know what you think. https://julianbenoit.com/empire-of-the-south/

When is book three going to be released? I hate it when you finish one book and then have to wait for over a year for the next part, invariably I cannot remember the details of the previous books so do not buy any follow up editions.
Sorry to disappoint, but it doesnt look like the third volume will be out any time soon. Life caught up with me in the form of a job relocation, so I haven’t worked on it all summer. Hopefully, when I finish up some renovations on the new house, I can start in again hard and heavy.
Julian
Still working on your house or you already started working on book 3?
Finished with the house, thank goodness, but work has kept me exceptionally busy. I haven’t had a chance to work on the book in months.
