It's a little late for Free Fiction Friday, but I'm making it up to you this week. (Either or both of these might be visually suped-up at some point, but they're both online and absolutely free. Go snag 'em!)
Just in case you're itching to check in with Kalen, I highly encourage you to read "Chosen of the Sword," a little novella that I wrote--completely for free--about the period between DOWNSHADOW and SHADOWBANE. And yes, you're reading the page count right: 85 free pages of free Erik Scott de Bie Forgotten Realms writing, completely free.
(Did I mention free?)
Here's the link: http://wizards.com/dnd/files/ChosenSwordFinal.pdf
There's also an updated version of my "Last Legend of Gedrin Shadowbane" story up there on the WotC site as well. It has a few changes from the original, though I don't think anything super noticeable. Just a few reveals I found appropriate to the continuing series! :)
Here we go: http://wizards.com/dnd/files/GedrinShadowbane.pdf
And of course, SHADOWBANE releases this week!

There was some question about dating the "Chosen of the Sword" novella. To be clear: it takes place over a tenday-long period in Ches 1480, setting it about three months before the start of my novel, SHADOWBANE.
