Infinity #3
by Ryan Wieser
Genre: Space
Opera, SciFi
Pub Date: 5/7/19
Even the Hunters of Infinity are
splintered when faced
with the greatest battle in the Daharian galaxy’s history . . .
Jessop has
proven herself to be an unstoppable force from Aranthol to Azgul, inarguably
the fiercest warrior the Hunters have ever seen. And her abilities only seem to
strengthen as her rage grows. With the two men she holds dear by her side—one
good-souled, one with a treacherous past, and both deadly with a sword—she
prepares to enter the most important fight of her life, with the most personal
stakes yet . . .
Armies are
divided and reforged, and battle lines are drawn. Blind loyalty drives some
while others are sworn to protect the galaxy at all costs.
Bonds will be
tested.
Lives will be
lost.
Consequences
will be devastating.
“This
thrilling, action-packed debut ties together strong characters with a building
story line that will have readers clamoring for the next volume in this new
series.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW, on The Glass Blade
The Shadow City
Hunters of Infinity
#2
The Hunters of
Infinity have guarded the Daharian galaxy for ages, but when betrayed, they can
become a vicious enemy . . .
Jessop, the
first woman to join the Hunters, has finally been reunited with those who mean
the most to her. In her quest for vengeance, she has left many embittered and
betrayed, chief among them Kohl O’Hanlon, the Hunter who once loved her.
Now, as the
feared Falco Bane leads his forces into the Hunters’ territory, Kohl attempts
to retaliate, flooding their infamous Shadow City with his own followers.
Jessop must fight a war on two fronts, testing her commitment to the ones she
loves and challenging her abilities as the most elite warrior among the
Hunters. With the future of Daharia’s leadership at stake, Jessop is determined
to protect those closest to her at all costs . But when allies turn into
adversaries, the real threat comes from a place least expected . . .
The Glass Blade
Hunters of
Infinity #1
The Hunters of Infinity have
been
protecting the Daharian galaxy for years, but there has never been a female
Hunter—until now.
In a seedy bar in the shadowy corners of Daharia, Jessop comes to the rescue of young Hunter Kohl O’Hanlon. Impressed by her remarkable sword-wielding skills, the Hunters invite her to their training facility, the Glass Blade, though not all are pleased with the intrusion. But they soon discover that Jessop learned to fight from the rogue leader of the Shadow City of Aranthol—and escaped. Now they want to use her intimate knowledge of their enemy to destroy him.
As Jessop grows closer to this elite brotherhood, their leader succumbs to a mysterious ailment, and Kohl learns that Jessop is hiding dark secrets, raising suspicions about the enigmatic woman who saved his life. Has the Hunters’ security been breached—or do they have a traitor in their ranks?
Allegiances will be questioned.
Loyalties will be betrayed.
Vengeance will be brutal.

GUEST POST
As we approach the end of
the protagonist-led fantasy trilogy, Hunters of Infinity, readers are
wondering if this is the last we will be seeing of Jessop? If so,
what is author Ryan Wieser working on next?
The
entire experience of writing this story has gone by in the blink of
an eye, as clichéd as that is to say, it’s simply true. Even
though the last book is done, I honestly can’t say if this is it
for Jessop, Falco, and Kohl (if they all survive to the end of the
last book, that is…).
If you love
your characters it feels impossible to say that you’re done with
them forever. And I love
these characters. They’re crazy, impulsive, and immature. They make
the same mistakes over and over. They are blinded by their motives.
But they all end up on the same quest for redemption, reaffirming
their love and loyalty along the way. For me, the trilogy was always
about the personal journey and relationships of these characters. It
is difficult to know for sure if their stories are completely done.
Maybe it’s their time. At this point, I can’t say for sure what
will happen.
Like my main characters, the
trilogy is imperfect, but with each book, it developed more and more.
I definitely feel like I had the opportunity to learn a great deal
and to exercise new skills with each installment, and in some ways,
that’s what Jessop, Falco, and Kohl do – with each book, they
learn and they change. I do think that perhaps with a trilogy, you
have more room to explore and more pages to fill. It all depends on
the way you write, how much of your plot is planned in advance, how
many pages you intend to utilize to tell your story… There are a
lot of factors to consider. Oddly, I wasn’t necessarily trying to
write a trilogy when I started writing the story; I was more focused
on the characters, their relationships, histories, and individual
profiles. If anything, the trilogy helped provide some structure and
give the overarching story a beginning, middle, and an end.
In
terms of next projects, I am actually already busy working on my next
book, a medieval-esque fantasy novel. I learned a lot from the
trilogy. I got some amazing reviews and a lot of feedback, some
wonderful and some less so, but all of it served a purpose. My flaws
as a novice writer have been highlighted, the interests of my readers
have been made known, and the path forward has been laid out with
hope and determination. This next book is really quite different from
the Hunters of Infinity series. While it is also an action packed
fantasy led by a strong female protagonist, it’s set in a different
world, a different time, and supported by an entourage of different
characters. I’m excited to see where these new characters go. I am
committing to them with the same passion and care I did for Jessop
and her leading men and it’s my hope that they are received by my
readers with as much enthusiasm and support (if not more!).
