Our PAX Prime 2011 Special this week Sig interviews with Fernando of Turbine talk on Update 11. We also have an inter view with Keith Baker, creator of the Eberron world.

DDO’s First Novel: The Shard Axe!
Marcy just posted the final cover of her new novel, The Shard Axe, which will be released this September. We think it looks awesome! Hopefully, Amazon.com will update the book cover on the product page soon!
The Shard Axe
Sentinel Marshal Sabira d’Deneith has spent the last eight years trying to drown the memories of the mission that cost her partner his life and gave her the nickname “The Shard axe.” Until she’s recalled from the city of Stormreach to carry out a mission on House Deneith’s behalf–protect and defend the heir of the dwarven city of Frostmantle during his murder trial. The same heir she and her partner guarded eight years ago in the same city–from the same style of murders. Is the dreaded Nightshard still alive and taunting her? Or is there another serial killer loose in the Mror Holds?
