L: The Last Assassin Contest Scene

Posted on April 13, 2018April 12, 2018 by R.M. Archer

The Last Assassin is probably my favorite of my stories, and I look forward to having the other two Dark War books caught up so I can keep writing it. In the meantime, I’ll welcome a chance to look back at some of my favorite scenes, and this is one of them. “Tibessa” is the most-shipped relationship in the trilogy according to Allegra and Siberia, and I pretend I’m not part of the fandom… but I really am. ‘Cause these two are awesome. (I’m totally not the one who came up with their ship name in the first place… *cough*)

Anyway, without further ado, let me introduce you to Catessa and Tiberius. :) Continue reading “L: The Last Assassin Contest Scene” →

K: The King’s Paladin Opening Scene

Posted on April 12, 2018April 12, 2018 by R.M. Archer

As I promised yesterday in the introduction to Ammadeus Maste’s interview, today’s excerpt is from The King’s Paladin, the third book in The Dark War Trilogy. I don’t know this one quite as well, I don’t have it fleshed out quite as well as the other two yet, but I look forward to further developing and writing it in the semi-near future.

Without further ado, here’s the opening scene.

Coraline ran down the hallway, heart pounding. Fear was mirrored in her kaleidoscopic eyes as she wrenched open the door to her mentor’s room. There he was Continue reading “K: The King’s Paladin Opening Scene” →

Character Interview: Ammadeus Maste

Posted on April 11, 2018April 11, 2018 by R.M. Archer

Ammadeus is a mentor character to Coraline in The King’s Paladin (which you’ll be getting an excerpt of tomorrow). You’ll see that he’s pretty brooding and mysterious, and he’s a seer (the only one in the word, I think) which places a lot of responsibility upon his shoulders. I hope you enjoy his interview. :) Continue reading “Character Interview: Ammadeus Maste” →

H: The Heart of the Baenor Tavern Scene

Posted on April 9, 2018February 13, 2025 by R.M. Archer

The Heart of the Baenor (as it is currently called. It really needs a new title.) is my Camp NaNoWriMo project. I’m editing it and finishing it, because I stopped last July and it’s now about ten chapters short but the writing is a mess and I need to remind myself what’s happening, so I’m editing it up to that point and then I’ll finish it and edit that. So far it’s actually been pretty fun to edit (editing is a lot nicer when you don’t have to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. ;D) and I’m looking forward to making it as good as I can. Here’s a scene that introduces one of the two main characters. Enjoy!

Catessa stopped on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city and looked over her shoulder one last time for anyone who might have followed her. There was still no one. Continue reading “H: The Heart of the Baenor Tavern Scene” →

Character Interview: Coraline Seralen

Posted on April 4, 2018February 13, 2025 by R.M. Archer

Coraline is the main character of The King’s Paladin, book three of The Dark War Trilogy and the one I talk about least (because it’s the one I know the least…). She’s a terrified mess for a lot of the book, thrust into a job she doesn’t think she’s ready for, but she has the most tender heart ever and loves helping and healing people. Enjoy her interview. :) Continue reading “Character Interview: Coraline Seralen” →
