My apologies to the readers of The Night Shift. I'm going to be cut the BS and be honest with y'all—I have no idea how I'm going to continue to story.  I'm just on this funk for the longest time where I have the urge to reconstruct or rewrite the previous chapters because I have missed certain events or details in the earlier timeline. Or that I think that the two main characters are just so completely different from each other. I just wish the story flow could have been told in a different manner. Really, it's just an itch inside my brain that needs scratching, but of course, tell me what you guys think!

           Meme time @sinisterpotat0!, See this, so funny hahaha click here to see it ↓:

Major remastering will take place in the The Phoenix of Jerusalem again. (Again? Yeah, I know. Trust me.  I have been thinking about it for months now and I find myself unable to move onto the third book without fixing these things first.)
          Here's what you can expect:
          
          1. Ages of Baldwin and Ysolde will be adjusted—more crucially, their age when they parted. With that,
          2. Conditions of why Amalric cannot grant Ysolde's family the king's protection (which makes more sense). Then,
          3. Upon her return as the king searched high and low for the kingdom's most learned healer, he'll recognize Ysolde off the bat (because she was his childhood friend of ten years) despite her firm denial after several inquiries and investigations. Despite Baldwin becoming more and more suspicious, he could not just let her go being the best physician he has ever had. 
          4. Investigation was actually initiated and pushed by the 13-year-old Baldwin but was delayed because he was still under the guidance of his uncle-regent, Raymond III of Tripoli, who was oblivious of the bond between the two at the time, having been imprisoned by Zengids for 9 years and was released just before his coronation. Because of the delay, some evidences were planted. Other than their parents and servants, bodies that resembled Ysolde and Daniel were positively identified in the wreckage. 
          5. Baldwin will be described often wearing a veil or a hood to conceal visible facial disfigurement during all public functions where his subjects would see his face, but not in battles. His hair is kept short for practicality though still long enough to curl. 
          6.  Coverings are removed in more private or personal settings.
          
          And more. ‍♀️

I’m placing Ashes to Embers on hiatus indefinitely. 
          
          I hold so much passion for this story and admiration for the life that King Baldwin has led but I have to brainstorm and think how I want to end this series. In part, I’m also grieving its approaching end. I don’t want to be careless like I did in the 1st book that I had to go through each chapters and pretty much republish the whole book anew to correct mistakes. 
          
          Please give me some more time to construct its flow because this book isn’t just gonna end with Baldwin’s death, this is also going to stretch to Ysolde and the baby’s exile to the witch hunt of the Templars over a century later.
          
          Don’t lose hope. I haven’t. Just need more time. 
          
          Thank you!!!  

I just proofread and revised some chapters in The Night Shift. Either I was too tired making metaphors that I realized did not make sense or I was attempting to be a creative poet thus overthinking them at the time — regardless, they're updated now.

And just like that, Inheritance By Fire is on final stretch. We will be welcoming a new arc soon after and knowing how it fared with our beloved king, the inevitable will happen on the next book... and more. 
          
          As usual, I will be dropping chapters (approximately 5-10 chapters to end) once to twice a week. But because my sleep schedule has been crap this week, I will be releasing another chapter today. 
          
          It was brought to my attention that the recent chapters have been quite sad. I'm sorry hehe. Just keep a box of napkin nearby, eh?

Hello all!
          
          In a few hours, I'm going to drop 2 new chapters. (Disclosure: Prepare a box of napkins nearby.)
          
          Here is why:
          I will be very busy in the following days due to a family get-together. Hopefully just until the weekend. I will continue to work on the future chapters and keep them on draft until the word count is adequate to be a full chapter. I will still do my best to post every 2-3 days, because I love and enjoy writing this novel!
          
          Thank you, as always, for reading Inheritance By Fire, and for your support! 
          
          Much love,
          Grace

Hello~~ I have a question, when do you publish your story? Like do you have a schedule or whenever? Hehe 

Thanks for following. I hope you enjoy reading or skimming through the novels: The Luna Aldridge Series...

I totally forgot to make an update here though I did on Tumblr a few days ago…
          
          ✨After weeks of reflection, research, and rewriting, I’m thrilled to share that The Phoenix of Jerusalem has been fully remastered! This new edition deepens the emotional journey, sharpens the historical detail, and brings even greater flow to the story of King Baldwin IV. ✨
