New story image and new books added to the series

This image represents a scene from Conqueror of the Sun - Prelude to Destiny - 2nd Light. Sabrina Arc is talking to her brother over the phone while on her way to school as a foreign exchange student in Japan.
As a small side note: the cell phone Sabrina uses is actually accurate to the time frame for the series' alternate history as this scene takes place in the year 2002.

In other news, during some work on Conqueror of the Sun - Severed Galaxy, I was inspired to create an entirely new side story novel to the series. The new book will be part of the Alternate Light Chronicles sub-series and is called Conqueror of the Sun - The Cursed Princess.

Incidentally, I swore to myself not only would I not create any new side book stories but also specifically a novel where this new tale takes place. The Cursed Princess takes place almost immediately after Conqueror of the Sun - Book 4 - Queen's Chaos.

*Possible spoilers in the next section*

The story features Ana Arc mentioned in the epiloque of Queen's Chaos. Although similar to The Dead Doll Princess that immediately follows Severed Galaxy, The Cursed Princess mostly focuses on Ana Arc's kids. As briefly noted in the epiloque of Book 4, it is stated that Ana Arc had three children, one with Jareth being the father and the other two via another father. Originally, I never had any names for these characters and thought I would never create them since there was a conscious effort on my part not to detail this story. However, after being inspired by an idea, I just had to make this new story as it has a very special meaning to me. In theory, The Cursed Princess story could have been inserted to any part of the timeline between Book 4 and Book 5 of the main series, but occurring right after Queen's Chaos turned out to be the perfect fit. And even though I have already in one day fleshed out the basic outline of the entire story, I will as for now, only reveal the main characters for this side book: Jayce Arc, Kane Arc, and Bekka Arc. These are the names of the three children of Ana Arc and her mate, Jerel Konrad. Of course, as mentioned at the end of Queen's Chaos, many of the characters change their names, especially in regards to the last name of Arc. In order to further hide her identity, Ana Arc not only takes the last name of Konrad from Jerel but also changes her first name to Britney. In addition to these characters, there will be two more important new characters, but since they may spoil the deeper parts of the story, I will refrain from even mentioning their names.

Since I decided to officially add The Cursed Princess to the Conqueror of the Sun series list, I further chose to put in another side book novel idea that I had been throwing around. This other book is to be called Conqueror of the Sun - Sun Kite. Although I am not sure if I will ever actually turn this new tale into a full novel. Nonetheless, the basic premise is already set, which I very much like the idea but do not yet know how the story will unfold in detail. This is considering that I even ever get around to working on it more.

I guess now would be a good time to mention again that although the entire Conqueror of the Sun series is now planned to be 32 books (with the 7 main books already published), it is very unlikely I will do all 25 side stories. However, I can say that at a bare minimum I would very much like to finish the following side books:

Severed Galaxy
The Dead Doll Princess
The Cursed Princess
And It Lasted 100 Hours
Distaste
Shawn and Sabrina Arc: The Untold Stories
Infinity Suns

The Last Mission
Rain's Second Vision
Path to Death

This list is also roughly in the order that I would plan on finishing each novel. Severed Galaxy is almost undoubtedly to be the next completed book as it is now 250 pages. After that, The Dead Doll Princess basically would have to be finished as it is so connected to Severed Galaxy. And although a brand new story, I am thinking The Cursed Princess must be done as the third completed side book. This is mostly due to the fact that similar to Severed Galaxy and The Dead Doll Princess, it covers details during the large time gap between Book 4 and Book 5 of the main series.

Severed Galaxy's story basically revolves around the significant event mentioned in the epilogue of Queen's Chaos: the destruction of Earth by an IRF attack.

The Dead Doll Princess will follow off the coattails of Severed Galaxy.

The Cursed Princess picks off from the ending of Queen's Chaos.

And It Lasted 100 Hours which is specifically mentioned as a prelude chapter in the 5th Book of the main series for Conqueror of the Sun, The IIIrd Tear. Distaste and Rain's Second Vision also become full stories from their prelude chapters.

Distaste mostly focuses on the more detailed story of Hailey and Duncan Kurn.

Rain's Second Vision follows the main characters of that book, Noah Oltraunce and Jessica Emery.

Path to Death also takes place in the era of The IIIrd Tear book and gives the background story to the character Cyrus Klaus.

The Last Mission takes place during the Reign of Terror time period, and even more specifically near the end of that story.

Infinity Suns is a story I very much want to do, but do not know if I will ever publish it even if completed as it "may" affect the entire series in a way that might not be the best thing for the series. Essentially it could detract or weaken the main plot points of the main 7 book saga.

Finally, Shawn and Sabrina Arc: The Untold Stories which for the most part will be even more additional background stories and moments from the time period of the two Prelude books in the Prologue Chronicles. However, even though it is the main focus, the book could include other moments/chapters with Shawn and Sabrina during times outside of the prelude book. These instances would mostly come from The IIIrd Tear era, but could also contain additional stories from Book 1's part. Lastly, I may include a chapter or two from even before the first chapter of the first Prelude book.
