This morning, I awoke to find a most excellent update in my Facebook feed: a publication date for Song of the Mysteries, the final volume in Wars of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurts.

I had been hoping it would be December, though I knew it was unlikely given all the delays and shortages right now. I can wait a little longer.

Preorders open in September. Like the last two volumes, I’ll be getting my order in for a hardcover as soon as they open.

With a year to go for the release of volume 11, you have time to start from the beginning and experience this masterpiece if you haven’t already. Or enjoy another reread if you have.
