The first chapter of book two comes out on 2/6. To help tide you over, there are four pieces of bonus content coming, starting with today's, which is concept art from the first half of book one.

These images are some of the ones I generated while brainstorming various scenes and settings. They are included entirely for fun and will never be monetized or profited from in any way. They will never be as good as your imagination, so if you see something that isn't quite the way you pictured it, stick with the version that naturally comes to mind. I hope you enjoy them!
