One of the best stories ever. I am anxiously awaiting the third book. - Lisa - Aug-17-2016   

I read 'The Fletcher' and I was impressed. It was a sweet coming of age story, but it was very well written with enough of an imaginative story line to keep me interested. The Archer seems to continue the story line, but it builds. I finished The Archer with both hands covering my mouth & my eyes wide open. Well done Kelly, and THANK YOU for sharing. Cannot wait for round three. - Carolyn - Aug-17-2016

The Sagittarius (Ante Mortem: book 3) is posted, just not here yet. I found it on the author's page on Archive of Our Own, but I noticed it pop up on the Academy of Bards 'what's new' page too. Hope this site sees an update soon.

It's been awhile since a story has sucked me into reading them. The Archer & The Fletcher are great stories. I am looking forward to reading the next one.
Great jib Kelly. - Catherine Burke - Oct-22-2016   

I noticed that this site became inactive before Kelly Aten's final story was posted. The Sagittarius is a great finale to the trilogy and I highly recommend it. You can find links to the author's work on her site. She's got another new contemporary posted too since the end of last year. Great stuff!
