It’s been a while, so here’s an update about how things are going with the German release of the Inheritance of Magic series!

Book 1 (An Inheritance of Magic) and Book 2 (An Instruction in Shadow) are now ready to go and should be released in their German translations this year.  As with the Alex Verus series, they’re getting new titles for their German versions.  Here’s a look at the front covers:

As usual, they should be released in paper, ebook, and audio formats.

Current plans are for Book 1 to release in March 2025, and Book 2 in October 2025.  Blanvalet are intending to continue the translation, so Book 3 should follow on fairly shortly afterwards.

For my German readers, the only bit of bad news about all this is that the release schedule is going to slow down from this point onwards.  If you’ve been reading my books in their German translation, you’ve had a while now to get used to a 6-month release interval from book to book.  Sadly, the only reason this has been possible is because my German publishers have been working their way through my back catalogue of all the books I published between 2012 and 2024.  As of this year, they’ll have finally caught up, meaning that from now on, you’ll be getting new books at the same rate as my English readers (about one a year).  They’ll still keep coming out, just not quite as fast as before!

Next week will be the first of a pair of articles on Motion sigls.  After that, I should hopefully have started Book 4!
