I have been hard at work writing the third book in the Sacred Guardian series, which is tentatively titled The Soul Forge. In it, the war with Shindor comes to a head while both Kaori and Hunter have to dig deep and face their personal demons in order to save the kingdom from enemies both within and without. Facing up to our fears is a major theme of this book -- Hunter is forced to come face to face with his traumatic past while Kaori wrestles with his fear of being the leader he needs to be in order to rule Kazure, while both of them struggle with the challenges of moving ahead with their relationship together. There are new characters as well as old in an adventure that spans entire nations, but finds its deepest moments in the hearts and souls of the characters I've grown to love.

I'm a good three quarters done with the book now and am heading into the final chapters. So far I am exceptionally happy with it, and I am so excited to share it with all of you. I'll post further updates as the story grows closer to being completed. Maybe I'll post a sneak peak here to celebrate closing the final chapter. ^_^
