R.K. Ashwick answered Silver's question: I loved A Rival Most Vial and A Captured Cauldron (ARC reader for it)! Ames and Eli are the cutest and I adored them. I also really enjoyed meeting Xavion! Is there any chance of a book (novel or novella) about him at any point in the future? He was such a fun character So glad you liked Xavion! They were so fun to write. I don't currently have anything planned for them, but never say never! :)

R.K. Ashwick answered El's question: Hi! Is A Rival Most Vial a standalone? I'm slightly confused about the structure of the series. Regardless, I am excited! A Rival Most Vial is the first in the Side Quest Row trilogy! The sequel, A Captured Cauldron, will come out fall of 2024.
