What is the Anarkand Experience?
Episodic novel releases
A 300-plus page novel on the latest part of the Anarkand story. Picks up directly after the last novel, or in the case of Season One's Origins title, sets the story from the beginning. Each novel expands on the story, characters, and interactions, as well as introducing new groups and factions.
New fan opportunities
There are many fans who may want to get involved in the adventure, and as such MK Black has devised many opportunities for fans to get involved. Some examples - Having a named character in the series, listed as a supporter of the series in the end of that seasons novel, listed on fans wall of fame, and so much more.
The Anarkand Story is more than just a series of novels. The Anarkand Story is an experience, and one that I want you to fully enjoy and delve deep into. The plot is huge, and the sub-plots even more so.
The story will evolve in real-time. In between full novel releases there will be additional short stories that expand on the anarkand universe. These will be character-centric.
The Anarkand Story will be released in seasons. In each season are numerous items that add to the overall experience of The Anarkand Story, these can be soundtracks, artworks, cards, chronicle novellas and more.
Everything released in a given season is relevant to the novel from that episode, as such, all item releases are treated as canon. Fan interaction is fully encouraged and welcome.
