Books That Burn

This month we’re discussing “Swordheart” by T King Fisher. We recorded this long enough ago that the sequel hadn't been announced yet, but, as of Fall 2025, DAGGERBOUND has a projected release date in August 2026. If we refer to SWORDHEART as a stand-alone book in the recording, that's why.
