Exclusive content: A Lamentation of Syrin Have you ever wondered how an author goes through his thinking and writing process? Well, I’ve decided to share an early version of my first novel. It has elements that eventually ended up both in The Song of the Sirin and A Rusted Blade. Hopefully you’ll find this glimpse into an author’s process interesting. (And maybe a little hilarious. This was definitely written before I had any idea about how to craft a story). Here, for your reading pleasure, is A Lamentation of Syrin: an early draft of Nicholas Kotar’s Raven Son series.
