Where have you gotten this idea from? WoTC has adopted a policy of minimum investment of dollars and then push the marketing of their novel line in such a way as to sync up with their other products.....which in turn would save even more money for WoTC.
There will be no revitalizing of the novel line. Four novels a year is the best that we can ever hope for from now on. |

| Hm, could it be the dagger that Cyric gave to Malik? |

| I have it on good information that this is not just the same book retitled, but a different story altogether that will still feature Kleef. Possibly due to changes in the overarching FR storyline. |

I sure hope not! It's wonderful seeing Demogorgon and Graz'zt featured in novels. I want to see Orcus too! The idea of Ocrus resurrecting and controlling a dead illithid colony is incredible, and I hate to see it abandoned.
Although, maybe it's possible for RAS to write that into his current series. Personally, I'm surprised that wasn't his storyline, given his penchant for using illithids in his novels AND the fact that he's still using Grandmaster Kane, whose party once destroyed Orcus's wand. I should think old Orcus would want revenge for that.
Speculation aside, there are villains we've waited to see novelized for YEARS, and it can be so satisfying to finally see them given center stage (ex. The Haunted Lands trilogy). I hope that isn't cast aside for Cyric, Shar, and Lolth to continue hogging all the attention (of course, the entire Rage of Demons storyline is Lolth's scheme, signaling that she will indeed continue to hog the spotlight). |

Being postponed until September I think it's a safe bet that it will no longer tie to Rage of Demons. We'll be at least one storyline beyond RoD by then, likely two. |

| Greetings and salutations fine fellows. Does anyone know what has happened to Troy's book? I was hoping to pick this book up for the summer but alas I saw somewhere that it was cancelled. |

| Good ole FR publishing: they won't put the book out in hardcover, but they will charge $26.99 for the kindle version. And since Hero and other new novels all say $15 for kindle on release, I am assuming this 27 dollar price tag will not change. Quality BS there. |

| Both Throne of the Dead and Dagger of Souls were cancelled, according to Amazon. No word of anything else coming from Troy and Wizards, so maybe it just didn't work out between them :( |

| Thats awful to hear. Just another nail in the coffin of the novel line I guess what with the next Brimstone Angels being the last. |
