Jon Cronshaw – The King of Nobledark
Author of epic fantasy with heart, grit, and moral weight. Where hope bleeds, but never dies.
Finished writing Two of Swords and kicked off Three of Swords. I also share thoughts on Dark Matter by Blake Crouch—well worth a read if you like twisty sci-fi thrillers.
This week I finished writing Two of Swords and started work on Three of Swords, continuing my return to The Ravenglass Chronicles.
I also enjoyed reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.
In exciting news, The Ravenglass Throne: Parts 5–8 boxed set is out today on Kindle and paperback.
And if you’ve not started the series yet, Parts 1–4 is free on Kindle until February 1.
Divided Crown, Episode Seven of The Ravenglass Throne, continues the sweeping saga of three royal sisters fighting to hold a fractured kingdom together. War, betrayal, and forbidden power collide in this dark fantasy of wyvern-riders and royal intrigue.
Three sisters.
One fractured kingdom.
A crown that may not hold.
The princesses of Ostreich have never faced a greater trial.
War brews on every border. Whispered conspiracies erode the heart of their realm. Old loyalties are breaking faster than the throne they swore to protect.
Irmin, Adelinde, and Elana must each walk their own path—through betrayal, battle, and forbidden knowledge.
Each road promises power.
Each choice carries a cost.
But divided strength cannot hold back what’s coming.
The sisters must decide: will they stand together—or let their kingdom fall apart forever?
A Dark, Sweeping Epic Continues
Divided Crown is Part Seven of The Ravenglass Throne, my ongoing epic of wyvern-riders, royal intrigue, and ancient conspiracies.
Across seven instalments, readers have followed the princesses as their father’s assassination plunged the kingdom into chaos. Now, their separate struggles collide in a story of war, betrayal, and impossible choices.
If you’ve been waiting for the next chapter—this is it.
And if you’re new to the series, this is the perfect time to begin your journey through Ostreich.

Good news, everyone!
I am thrilled to announce that my new serialised story, “Wyvern Rider”, will be releasing weekly chapters every Saturday at 2pm UK time, starting May 25, exclusively in my Ream community.

But as Irina and Nim’s abilities grow, so too do the dangers that threaten to tear them apart.
In a world where the bond between rider and wyvern is both revered and feared, Irina must find the strength and wisdom to navigate an uncertain path and protect the extraordinary creature.
