Writing my latest WIP is like running a DND campaign except all the characters are pieces of me.
Right now, I need to roll the die and see which one has the brains to ask the sensible questions.
Pray for me 😂

POV: you're trying to get civilians to safety while behind you, King Arthur holds back the tide of enemy.

"What about Arthur?"

"He's fine!"

Random quote from my work in progress, no hints, no POV:

"Unlike Jen, I can multitask my emotions."

This is a modern Arthurian retelling, book 2.

Pulchra Arcanum is out now!
An unreliable narrator. A slow-burn romance. A dark Arthurian retelling full of secrets, magic, and fate.

📚 Grab it in paperback, hardcover, or e-book!

#PulchraArcanum #FantasyBooks #BookRelease #ArthurianRetelling

Promotional graphic for the book Pulchra Arcanum by Mandy Tremelling. The top reads in red gothic font: “Pulchra Arcanum.” On the left is the book cover featuring a silhouette of a dragon against a pink-red sun and mountains, with the text: “Merlin is a liar. Arthur is vengeful. Megara is lost.” The title and author’s name are below the dragon. On the right, a brown text box summarizes the story: Megara, raised by Merlin, must flee after his death and uncover her past. With friends and an animal sidekick, she must choose between embracing her fate or falling to darkness when King Arthur seeks revenge. The story includes unreliable narration, a slow-burn romance, and is an Arthurian retelling. At the bottom, red text reads: “Available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book.”

An emotional, high-stakes follow up that shattered me in the best way. Deonn masterfully expands the world and deepens the characters. The grief, growth, and power? Immaculate. I will be seated for whatever comes next. #LegendbornCycle #MustRead #TracyDeonn #BlackGirlMagic #ArthurianRetelling
