Annotated Chapter 43 Cover
Close to wall-to-wall action this time around, on both sides of the major interdimensional divide, but with higher stakes (and more dramatic consequences) in Sepia World than in Arkerra.
Not much more to say about what’s basically a transitional chapter on the Arkerran side and a long-awaited climax on the Sepia side. Flo and I had this one partitioned pretty thoroughly, but she still weighed in on the practicality of some of my early plotting. But I think she was pretty satisfied with the results, as satisfied with our collective work as she generally got. (I was Sepia, she was Arkerra.)
If you need it, the original alt text was “The one with cold reception.”
