The Brightmoon books are all set in the same world, some five thousand years after a magical catastrophe. They are mostly stand-alone books, such that each one can be read independently, but for those who read them in sequence, there are little references to the earlier books, and a few characters and artifacts turn up again. The Second God is a sequel to The Fire Mages’ Daughter.

wondering about the return of the mages? and the wondrous map you promised me of all the lands…
The Return of the Mages is still on the back-burner for the moment, although I still hope to get to it eventually. The only map I have is this hand-drawn scribble of the part of the southern hemisphere that appears in the books (no map of the whole planet): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0zhlsahu8tl71ho/BrightmoonMap.jpg?dl=0
Any update on return of the mages? I’ve reread the whole series consecutively and desperate to continue on this journey
Unfortunately, I have no idea when it will be done. I got distracted with writing Regency romances under the pen name Mary Kingswood, which turned out to be way more successful than the Brightmoon books. I do still hope to get back to it when I get an epic-fantasy-sized window in the schedule, but I can’t say when that will be. Sorry. 🙁
Hey Pauline – I assume we’re still in a holding pattern on book 10 (and, as you said, the northern hemisphere is still a long way off).
Fraid so, yes. But the more people prod me, the more likely I am to get round to it. 😉
I’ve been checking religiously for Book 10. Just LOVE these stories. Hope you can get back to it very soon.
Thank you for the kind words, Victoria, and I do hope to get book 10 out there eventually.
Dear Pauline,
Is The Return of the Mages written yet? No more romances please! Come on, don’t leave us hanging.
Kind regards…
Sorry! I do hope to get back to it eventually. I’d like to know how it all turns out, too. 🙂
Hey Pauline,
Your regular prodding about book 10! 🙂
Thank you! It does make a difference to know that there’s at least one person who cares enough to prod me about it. I have added ‘Plan Return of the Mages’ to my todo list, which means that Things Will Happen. Please keep prodding me!
Hey Pauline,
as (sort of) requested, another prod around book 10. When I know it is close to finished I will start a reread 🙂
Thank you! I haven’t forgotten, just got bogged down in other non-Brightmoon stuff. However, work is underway again and I have a progress post brewing.
Still hoping for no10. Consider this a nudge 😉
I’m still hoping, too…
