| loved it so far. Just wondering, is this the first reveal of Cale's death at the hands of Mephistopheles? I haven't followed much in 4th edition, so I might have missed it. |

Those events occur at the end of The Twilight War (in Shadowrealm). |

| Ah, guess I need to reread the very ending chapters. Now that you mention it, I do recall Drasek returning to the tower on the island alone. |

Looking forward to the book.
I might actually read this excerpt. I know I read the one with Riven months ago. |

| So far away and no Realms novels in sight. Can someone put me in stasis until all these new novels show up? |

Hi there Paul, nice excerpt, wonder if i could pester you with a question, is the Malcanthet in the excerpt the same demon lord in the Abyss?
(Hope you answer and thanks!) |
Everything ends where it begins. Period.

Paul, you 'do' powerful beings incredibly well in prose. Thanks for the excerpt - looking forward to putting down my hard-earned and getting you to a million books sold.

Sounds fine. Though I'm more interested in knowing what Riven and the Tanthuls are doing. |

Paul did say this before his exerpt. So I'm going to assume that you'll find out what they're doing between now and September.
"I’ll be posting six excerpts, one each month through and including September. None will contain spoilers and each will be between 900 and 1,800 words. I think what I’ll do is feature a different point-of-view character in each excerpt, so you get a sense of the players, the tone of the book, etc." |

| Eee, excited! "Burning souls", that's creepy. And oh, I can't wait! I love to hate Mephistopheles, and it is interesting to see things from his point of view. I'd actually forgotten that Rivalon had part of Mask's power, though I remembered Riven and Cale did. Looking forward to it! |

| A Riven's point of view would force me into breaking my no excerpts rule for sure. |

Sounds really exciting. I look forward to it.
And I think it was the former demoness queen, given something Erin Evans said in the past in regards to a question I asked in the past. |

What counts as evidence as buying A Discourse in Steel?
I usually use temporary credit cards to buy stuff online, so I can only pre-order on the month before the book releases. Would forwarding the order confirmation e-mail from amazon.co.uk work or do I need something else? |

That would work fine, Tanthalus. In fact, that's what most people have been sending (that or screen shots). |

That's my plan (just need to clear it with WotC first, just to be sure). If so, it'll be toward the end of the month. |
