New fears. Hidden clues. The Aspects cannot maintain what has been broken.
That’s right, Aelda fans – my next book is coming out this year! Castoff is the finale of the Aspects of Aelda duology, completing the journey that started in Catalyst back in 2022.
Here’s the description:
Six months after saving her city from destruction, Deyeri Renn is outrunning leadership she doesn’t trust herself to take on. Mavrin Leed chases secret knowledge beyond the business of a mere street magician, wondering where his friend Eyasu Temergon has gone, and how much his devotion to the god-like Aspects endangers him this time. All while the Raw wait to be freed from their prison—the extent of their patience unknown.
And as the Highest Voices work to silence the gods who keep Aelda safe, dangerous truths at the edge of the world still find their way to light.

Want an early copy? Castoff is officially available on NetGalley for a limited time. If you enjoyed Catalyst, I hope you’ll love where these characters end up – and advance reviews of the new book would be greatly appreciated!
You can also preorder Castoff right freaking now from various online book outlets. Or ask your favorite indie bookstore!
Castoff will officially release on October 14, and I’ll be launching it alongside some of my closest writer friends at Can*Con in Ottawa. Between now and then, I’ll be answering questions about the new book on my newsletter – including some sneak previews of what to expect as the world of Aelda expands. Stay tuned!
