Readers have been asking about the extent of The Ring Saga. As such, before I disappear into the wilds for a month, I’m reposting the following from Discord and Subscribestar.
Here’s a quick breakdown of current and planned (not engraved in stone tablets) stories:
“Aiden and The Ring” – The first of Aiden’s tales. Posting here on SOL through the end of October and available on Bookapy. Aiden struggles with the ring as he uncovers its powers.
“Aiden Ascending” – In rough draft, but needs significant rewrite; this continues to explore Aiden’s relationship with the ring. Will absolute power corrupt him absolutely?
“Aiden’s World” – A grouping rather than a single title; these are five completed rough drafts documenting his continued exploits.
“The Ring – Before” – Introduces Sierra, the young girl who owned the ring before Aiden. She has a completely different mindset towards using it. This was a supporter-only short side-story and is available on Bookapy.
“The Ring – Discovered” – Explains how Sierra acquired the ring and why she chose a different ring-bearer mode than Aiden. This was a supporter-only short side-story and is available on Bookapy.
“The Ring – Bargain” – Introduces Leah and her decision to hunt for the ring. This was a supporter-only short side-story and is available on Bookapy.
“The Ring – Training” – Follows Leah as she gains experience to aid in her quest. This is slotted to be a supporter-only short side-story next month and will be available on Bookapy a month later.
Subscribestar supporters can expect additional Sierra and Leah tales in addition to short side-stories similar to “Mi Finds a Home” from “The Immortal,” covering several interesting subplots in “Aiden and the Ring.” Of course, they will also be available a month later on Bookapy.
Another story involving a new main character impacted by the ring is also slated for simultaneous SOL biweekly posting/Bookapy sale. It’s currently pending rough draft completion. Depending on reception, this MC may continue ala Aiden with full length sequels and short side stories for supporters.
