Thanks, I’m glad that you like it, and it’s always fun for me to weave little tidbits and references from the original books into my stories. As for when it’s set according to the official timeline… Let us count – the main story takes place 30 seasons before the War of the Thousand Rains, which takes part 23 seasons before ‘For Freedom’, so that puts it 53 seasons before ‘For Freedom’, 38 seasons before ‘Triss’ and unknown number of seasons after ‘Taggerung’ (since I suppose at least 50-60 seasons passed between ‘Taggerung’ and ‘Triss’). But ‘Raven’s Feather’ is tied more strongly to ‘For Freedom’ than to any original books, though references to ‘The Bellmaker’ and other canon books would still be present. Yes, Skylily is going to become more involved with the plot once it unfolds, and some new characters will be introduced as well. Thanks for following, and hope you’ll like the next parts!
