The Ravenglass Throne Audiobook Is Now Live on Audible

The complete first arc of The Ravenglass Throne is now live on Audible, narrated by Emmy Coates, bringing together political intrigue, wyvern-bond magic, and three sisters fighting to hold a kingdom together after their father’s assassination.

I’m very excited to share that The Ravenglass Throne – Parts One to Four is now live as an audiobook on Audible.

This release brings together the complete first arc of the series in audio for the very first time.

The audiobook is narrated by the brilliant Emmy Coates, who also voiced The Ravenglass Chronicles audiobook.

Her performance gives real weight, warmth, and tension to the story, and I could not be happier with how it turned out.

If you enjoy epic fantasy that leans hard on character, politics, and consequence, this is a great way to experience the story.

The Ravenglass Throne – Parts 1–4 follows three royal sisters trying to hold a fractured kingdom together after their father, the King, is assassinated without naming an heir.

Each sister faces the crisis from a different front.

Irmin commands the skies as a wyvern rider, ready to defend the realm with force.

Adelinde searches for dangerous truths within the ravenglass bonds that link rider and mount.

Elana battles intrigue and betrayal in the court as the noble houses begin to turn on one another.

Separated by rivalry and mistrust, the sisters must learn to act as one before the rot inside the kingdom destroys everything they are sworn to protect.

This edition collects the entire opening arc of the series, from the King’s death to battles fought across sky and stone.

If audiobooks are your preferred way to read, this is the ideal entry point into the Ravenglass world.

The audiobook is available now on Audible.

The ebook is also available in Kindle Unlimited, and a paperback edition is available for readers who prefer print.

Thank you, as always, for supporting my work and for following these stories wherever they go next.

Final Checks Done & A Fascinating Read | Author Diary – December 12, 2025

This week, I wrapped final checks on Churchill’s Dragons, completed post-edit reviews of The Ravenglass Throne Books 11–12, and read Tara Westover’s brilliant memoir Educated.

This week, I completed the final check of Churchill’s Dragons (RAF Dragon Corps, Book 2), which means it’s now officially ready for the editor.

I also finished my post-edit checks on The Ravenglass Throne Books 11 and 12, bringing me one step closer to wrapping up that epic series.

For reading, I’ve been immersed in Educated by Tara Westover—a gripping and powerful memoir that I’d highly recommend.

It’s a deeply personal and thought-provoking story about resilience, identity, and the power of learning.

🐉 Fighting Through SAD & Nostalgic Movie Nights | Author Diary, November 14, 2025 🎬📚

This week, I talk about writing through SAD, hitting 50k words on Churchill’s Dragons, finishing House of Cards, and revisiting classic movies with my son like Brewster’s Millions.

This week’s been tough—I’ve been struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which has made writing harder than usual.

Still, I’ve kept pushing forward with Churchill’s Dragons (RAF Dragon Corps, Book 2), and I’m now at around 50,000 words into the draft.

To switch off, I finally finished watching House of Cards on Netflix… and honestly, it didn’t quite land for me.

So I decided to dig out the DVD player and introduce my son to some classic films, starting with Brewster’s Millions. A much-needed hit of nostalgia.
