“The War for the Shield” is the last book in The Stonemaster series, but it is not Pencheval’s final appearance. He’ll be back in the next series, which will be a trilogy. Now that I’ve written a series I know why people write in trilogies. Two books is not enough, and four is too much.
The next series takes place in Lerrisaine’s capitol, and both the stakes and the setting will be much larger than the secluded monastic valley of the Emerald Refuge. You’ll hear more about it later.
