Chapter stalks the nighted hallways, peering into blackened chambers, claws clicking on bone-chilled marble floors.

Epub of the chapter is also attached below!
Chapterrrrr three! Here we go! Here Maisie goes, completely beyond my control; okay, not totally, she's still following the narrative outline, but she's spinning off in so many different directions that I only vaguely predicted. Wrangling Maisie as a protagonist is genuinely a lot more challenging than it was with Heather, but I am beyond delighted by the outcome. And I hope you are too, dear readers! I hope you enjoy the chapter, and I very much hope you will enjoy where this opening arc of Eusebeia Epoche is heading!
Two other things this week!
First off, the publishing schedule is going to be the same as before - three weeks on, one week off; this is genuinely the most sustainable pace for me, though I am hoping to push ahead by a chapter or two at some point. I already mentioned this, but I thought it worth reiterating here, as this means the next week is the first off-week. I'll be keeping the Table of Contents page updated with this information regularly.
Secondly, there's already some fanart! I haven't uploaded it to the site yet, because it would inherently be spoilers for all the public readers (they don't even know Maisie is the POV yet!) so I'll be waiting until next chapter to share it all (with the permission of the various fanartists, of course!) I'm just delighted that readers have been so excited and inspired by this already, so I had to say something.
Anyway! Onward we go, once more! On with the show! Hope you enjoy it.
