A new Expanded Edition of Echoes of Twenty-Four, the opening book in The Chronicles of the Echo War, is scheduled for release on June 1, 2026.

This edition revisits the original novella and expands it into a fuller series-opening novel, bringing Book One into stronger alignment with the scope, emotional depth, and continuity of the later Echo War books.

Readers can expect:

•  Expanded scenes and character development 
•  A stronger introduction to Maya, Echo, Remus, and Alina 
•  A deeper look at Alina’s early role in the mission to Daeus 
•  Clearer emotional and structural groundwork for the larger Echo War saga 
•  A revised edition designed to serve as the definitive starting point for the series 

The original version introduced the world. The Expanded Edition deepens it — especially the relationships and choices that shape what the saga becomes.

Thank you to every reader who has supported the journey so far. This update is part of a larger effort to strengthen the full saga and give new readers the best possible entry point into The Chronicles of the Echo War.

Coming June 1, 2026.
