The Outcast Chronicles. 2012
This series follows the fate of a tribe of dispossessed mystics, the T’Enatuath. Vastly outnumbered by mieren (people without magical abilities), the mystics are persecuted because the mieren fear their gifts. This persecution culminates in a bloody pogrom sanctioned by the mier King who lays siege to the Celestial City, last bastion of the T’Enatuath. When the city falls at great cost to both sides, the T’En leader negotiates their surrender and the mystics are exiled from their homeland.
A fantasy-family saga, the characters are linked by blood, love and vows as they struggle with misplaced loyalties, over-riding ambition and hidden secrets which could destroy them. Some make desperate alliances only to suffer betrayal from those they trust, and some discover great personal strength in times of adversity.
Hello Rowena,
I’ve become a huge fan of the T’En trilogy by pure accident. I haven’t finished because it is depressingly hard to find The Shadow Kingdom anywhere in the world. I was wondering if the Outcast Chronicles are a precursor to the T’En trilogy.
btw, are there any places i can purchase The Shadow kingdom.
Hi Wai,
Thanks for the kind words. Do you have books one and two of the T’En trilogy? If you do, you can get book three in the US Imprint via Amazon. It’s called Desperate Alliances. Here’s the link to my web page.

Yes, The Outcast Chronicles is a prequel, but it goes way back. The Imoshen in the T’En trilogy was a descendant of the Imoshen the First who settled Fair Isle. This is her story.
I’m having so much fun revisiting this world and the people! (Hope the readers enjoy it as much!).
Thanks Rowena,
I finally found a copy of Desperate Alliance thats not over $200. I liked the Australian art covers better but I’m so impatient to read whats inside that I’ll get over it. I can’t wait to get stuck into it. Imoshen is a character I can identify with alot (personality-wise obviously) and so I appreciate the story you’ve written. Good luck with the new series, I hope it gets published soon.
Hi Wai,
$200 for a copy of Desperate Alliances? I would have sent you one for nothing, if I’d only known!
Am halfway through the clean up of book three of the new series. Have to hand it into the publishers in May. It will be published in July August, September of 2012.
Tell you what, do you write reviews? If you do, I can send you book one comes out.
Cheers, R

The Chronicles of king Rolen’s Kin. What comes next?
LOL, Graham, if I told you that you wouldn’t have to buy the next trilogy.
Seriously, I’ll be starting work on the new KRK when I hand in The Outcast Chronicles. So it’s brewing on the back burner right now.
Let me know when. I could not put KRK down they were brill thank you.
Thanks, Graham. You’ve made my day!

Hey Rowena!
Just dusted off my (massive) copy of ‘The Shadow Kingdom’ to read in the lead up to my wedding… I first read ‘The Last T’En’ when i was in something like year 7 and i’ve read it every few years since. The story seems to have a calming effect on me! Super enjoyed the copy of ‘The Kings Bastard’ you sent and hurried out to buy the next two! I think i forgot to write and tell you how much i loved them and want more! STOKED that you are writing Outcast Chronicles – cannot wait! hope you had a relaxing Easter
Alicia
Hi Alicia,
Good to hear from you!
Do you have a blog where you review books? If so, I could send you a copy of Book One of The Outcast Chronicles when it comes out.

Definitely excited for the Outcast Chronicles! I absolutely adored KRK (a review for the first book will be posted on The Ranting Dragon website shortly) and found reviewing it a pleasure. I’m certain it will be the same with all your work, as I feel pulled in by the worlds you create.
Your worlds are so rich, and your characters even richer. A good combination.
Great, look forward to the review.
Would you like an advance copy of book one Outcast Chronicles? Tweet me privately to organise it.

I just finished KRK this morning. I have read like nonstop for about a week! Burned through them and am hungry for more! Thumbs up to intriguing characters and the door wide open to more and more… Thank you! Karyn
PS: Actually I was hoping for another book already out. What of yours do you recommend? Where should I go for more of the KRK feel in your writing? Karyn
Hi Karyn,
Lovely to hear from you. So glad you enjoyed KRK.
I do have an earlier trilogy. When I go to events people still come up to me 10 years later and tell me they loved the series.

I cannot find a copy of this trilogy anywhere!! I wail at the scarcity! I’m desperate; where can I buy them?
Oh, Katie …. you can’t find a copy because the trilogy hasn’t been printed yet. It’s due for release in July, August and September of 2012. I must put that somewhere on this page. I thought I had.
Thank you for you vote of confidence!
Where can I find the previous trilogy? The T’en one.
Sorry, Katie, my mistake. The T’En trilogy is available through AMAZON.
Here’s the link to my web page with links to AMAZON.

I just checked that the first book of the trilogy is $38 secondhand and $109 new. Email me and I’ll see if I can send you a copy of book one for free.

I am *so* hyped for these books, Rowena! I absolutely can’t wait for them. Hopefully they’ll keep me and my two best friends (I got them hooked on KRK!) sated until KRK2! The cover artwork is absolutely beautiful and the story sounds amazing. Thanks for all your hard work!
Happy New Year! I hope you had a great Christmas.

Awww, Hayley, you make getting up at 6am to write worthwhile!
Is the girl on the cover of Besieged the same girl that is in the Game of Thrones as the Dragon Princess?
Hi Alan,
That’s my daughter. I hadn’t seen Game of Thrones when we were putting the cover suggestions together.
Cheers,
Rowena
Well it is a pretty good movie based up a really good book series. Which I am sure you have heard of. http://moviecarpet.com/2011/03/28/hbos-game-of-thrones-new-movie-trailers-power-fear-and-blood/ I look forward to reading this series as I enjoyed King Rolen Kin.
Yes, big fan of the series, both the books and the show. Think they did a good job converting the story to TV. Peter Drinklage did a brilliant job of Tyrion!
Hello !
I just finished reading book 1 of KRK and I must say I really loved it ! I was wondering if there was a chance for the trilogy to be published in France ? ‘Cause I would love to share it with the people around me who can’t read english ^^
I’m eagerly-awaiting for your new trilogy, the covers are really amazing.
Best wishes,
nymeria
Hi Nymeria (What a beautiful name!)
I have no idea if the books will come out in France. That is up to my publisher. It would be lovely if they did.
Thank you for your kinds words about KRK!
Cheers, Rowena
Hi Rowena,
Loved KRK, honestly i read it within two weeks and could not put it down. i’m very excited for the next trilogy in the series. In the mean time i’d like to read some more of your books, if the writing style of KRK is the same in your other series i’m in for a treat. i was wondering though, do I or should I read the Last T’En series before reading the Outcast Chronicles?
Hi Trevor,
No need to read the original trilogy before starting on the Outcast Chronicles.
Thanks for the king words. So glad you enjoyed KRK!
Cheers,
Rowena
Just an FYI for anyone who pre-orders the Outcast Chronicles on Amazon. They are part of the 4-for-3 promotion. So you can get all 3 books plus another one free+ free shipping since your order will be over $25 if you don’t have prime membership…at least this is all true for those of us in the US. I’m not sure about international.
Can’t wait to read them Rowena!!! I’m still sitting on the edge of my seat for KRK2 but I think these will be a great summer read.
Gee, thanks for letting me know, Sarah!
I’ll blog about it.
Hello Rowena
I am reading the first book in KRK and am really liking it so far. This is the first of your books that i have read and i think your writing style is great and i am looking forward to reading your other series.
Thanks, Jacob. Hope the trilogy keeps you up all night!
Hi Rowena
I was also wondering since the Outcast Chronicles Takes place before the Last T’En should i read that first or since you wrote Last T’En first should i read that. If you already answered this question sorry just wanted to know.
Thanks
Hi Jacob,
Don’t worry, the Outcast Chronicles can be read without reading the other trilogy.
Wow, you really do your homework!
