Muspell’s Sons Title and Cover Reveal, Release Date

Get ready to dive back into the world of Muspelheim with my newest book, the sequel to Muspell’s Sons:

The Shackles of a Mountain Lord by Jillian Leigh Jacobs, sequel to Muspell's Sons in the Realm War Chronicles.

In The Shackles of a Mountain Lord, Cadmus Brand continues his struggle against the demonic kashmari that rule the desert realm of Muspelheim. The dark kashmari High Lord Fafnir now knows exactly what Brand is–a pharmakon, an ancient order of alchemical magic-users–and intends to use Brand’s abilities for his own nefarious purposes. While searching for clues about High Lord Fafnir’s plans and how to stop him, Brand’s adventure takes an unexpected turn that leads him to find new allies…and lose others. Meanwhile, Brand’s friends, the crew of the sand trawler Polaris, discover the source of the unrest that has plagued Lord Fafnir for years, and seek to unleash it upon the kashmari lords.

Release Date and Preorders

The Shackles of a Mountain Lord will be released on October 1, 2024 and will be available in eBook, trade paperback, and hardcover formats. Preorders will open up August 1 on Amazon and Kickstarter, where I’ll have preorders for swag bundles available. Note: The Kickstarter campaign will run from August 1-31 so that I can hopefully get those orders shipped out by October 1.
