More from The Once And Future Nerd
Today’s bonus content is the #AskTOAFN listener Q&A for Book 2, Chapter 9. Christian, Dan, Anya and Greg answer a few questions related to the chapter…and then mostly relitigate Tumblr’s “Sexiest Once And Future Nerd Character” poll.
In the conclusion of Book 2, Chapter 9, Billy does what Billy does best – be a huge pain in the ass – and reshapes the power balance of Pacific Ridge. And just in time for the arrival of a very influential power broker. First Snow prepares to delivery discouraging news to her community.
Regan becomes increasingly entangled in the affairs of Pacific Ridge, while the Party puts their plan into motion. Yllodyk may have found an ally, but she has some explaining to do first.
Yllodyk reckons with the aftershock from her parents’ untimely deaths. Under the Black Mountains, Mag Uidhir and the Dragon make good on their bargain.
Old rivalries flare in Pacific Ridge. Nelson finds a kindred spirit. Regan folds some new allies into the Party’s plan.
