The Immortal Child
Sequel to The Unfettered Child. Written in short nightly sessions — updates here as the pages grow.
Work in progress
The sequel returns to the world of The Unfettered Child — but not as Samara’s story alone. She has become something else: a distant power in the background, more force than protagonist. The pages follow those left in her wake.
Latest update
Late October 2026 — Chapter 4 drafted. Omar’s chase through the city ends high above the square. He fights his way free and runs for the one place that might shelter him, and what waits behind those doors isn’t what he expected.
Earlier
Mid-October 2026 — Chapter 3 drafted. Back in the mountains, Zayra is home, Nikolai’s temper slips, and an ugly word one of the children repeats turns into a hard question for the parents. The night ends at a feast in the An’Blathain hall, all firelight and children laughing, until news arrives that wipes the smile off the chief’s face.
October 2026 — Chapter 2 drafted. Omar’s street show in the Meydan reaches its peak — music, daggers in the air, a square full of people singing along, and a few songs that cost him more than the crowd knows. The chapter closes with someone watching from the palace balcony, and then gone. Next up: Chapter 3, back in the mountains with Zayra and Nikolai.
Early October 2026. The family comes home to the village, and an old friend’s news turns a warm reunion tense on the way to the feasting hall, where the clan leader is waiting. Far to the south, an old face returns: Omar, nineteen now, a street musician with a barbat on his back, charming his way through the bazaar of Sunat Kabisa.
September 2026 — Chapter 1. Opening with Zayra and her half-elven twins in the mountains, a visit from Yavam, and talk of The Gathering. Nikolai’s hunting thread has begun on the pine slopes above the tower.
