Apple has dropped a tantalizing taste of its upcoming romantic fantasy series Pluribus, courtesy of a free 11-page excerpt from author Carol Sturka's novel Bloodsong of Wycaro. Fans of the show can now peruse Chapter 16, "The Isle of Sanantes", which reveals that beloved character Raban is alive and well after being thought to have met his demise in the previous book.
In a bold move, Sturka has made the excerpt freely available on Apple Books, mirroring the generous spirit of the show's writers. As seen on the series, fans were eager for answers regarding Raban's fate, and this new chapter delivers with a satisfying resolution.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Bloodsong follows Lucasia as she navigates a treacherous world after her crew falls under a mysterious curse. The stakes are raised when they set out to find Madam Asclepius, a former healer who may hold the key to breaking the curse.
The move comes as a nod to Apple's willingness to engage with its audience, particularly in the realm of self-publishing and original content. This is reminiscent of their earlier efforts with Severance, which offered a downloadable companion book titled The You You Are from Ricken Hale.
New episodes of Pluribus premiere every Friday on Apple TV, and fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on how well Bloodsong of Wycaro would fare in the romantasy genre.
