Originally shared in Shawn’s newsletter, September 2025.
The tide brought us to the biggest moment yet: Legacy of the Abyss had launched! Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and helped send it into the world.
This book represents the crew’s most dangerous voyage yet, and I couldn’t wait to hear readers’ thoughts as they dived in.
The crew’s most dangerous voyage
The Empire of the Abyss is coming for Starweaver Academy, and Finn Tempest is running out of time. With the Tidebreaker’s ancient magic growing stronger and darker forces closing in, Finn and his crew must face their deadliest trial yet.
Loyalty will be tested, secrets revealed, and the fate of the Endless Expanse hangs in the balance.
Visit the Legacy of the Abyss book page for the story, reading and listening editions, and reader voices.
Charting the Endless Expanse
The September newsletter also introduced a new world map, another way to chart a course across the Endless Expanse.
A glimpse beyond Book Three
The next horizon held an early glimpse of Book Four, then tentatively titled The Rising Storm: a storm unlike any other gathers beyond Havenmoor, one that even the Tidebreaker may not be able to outrun.
Thank you for sailing with me
September marked a turning point. With Legacy of the Abyss out in the world, the voyage was only growing. Your support makes every storm worth weathering.
Until next time,
Shawn
