As a part of my first few posts on this blog, I thought it would be a great idea to document what exactly I have planned for this work-in-progress, and what I’ve already completed. Noting the status of the series might become a(n) (in)frequent post, depending on how I’m feeling. Important to note that anything I post is subject to change at any point, but it is the current status of my series.
Right now, Astradhari is planned to be 5-6 books. The first two books will be the story of Nishant. If you haven’t met him yet, you should go read the blurb I posted earlier – Where “Astradhari” begins…. His story is the center of everything, with events that are the culmination of the past and massively impact the future of the world.
Book 3 will be a prequel book, detailing important events of some characters living several centuries before Nishant. Expect to see some similar Astras and some familiar eyes to the ones you’ll meet in book 1 and 2. On the other side, books 4 and 5 (and maybe a 6th) will be a century or two after Nishant. The world here may look a little different, and a little bigger.
Every Astradhari I discover in this world comes with their own stories, so I’m hoping I can add some short works along to the series to breathe a little more life into some side characters from the main novels.
Everything I mentioned, including one or two short stories, have at least an outline noted down. I just completed the draft of book 1, which will be sitting patiently until I finish the last two-thirds of book 2. We’ll see what’s in store for them after that!
