The Children of the Sun is the third and final book in the IIam trilogy, wrapping up the story started by The Blood That Bonds. It is currently scheduled for release during the Holiday Season (November-ish) of 2012, but the timing may change.
The Children of the Sun section of iiamtrilogy.com will be changing and updating over the coming year, as more information about the book is revealed.
Warning: the following summary contains numerous spoilers for The Blood That Bonds and Blood Hunt.
It’s been more than two years since Two Majors was reunited with her lover and became again a full part of the vampire world. No longer an Eresh, exactly, she is instead something new: Theroen-Chen. She spends her time now training in combat arts, enjoying her life with Theroen, and working with the American council of vampires. Even the mysterious cult of vampires, The Children of the Sun, who kidnapped her friend Tori and turned her into an agent of destruction, have gone oddly silent. Life is perfect, or as close to it as life usually gets. At least, that’s how it seems.
When the Children of the Sun attack a trio of Dutch vampires and declare war on the vampire world, Two’s life is plunged once again into chaos and darkness.

I am a fan of vampire novels. I came across The Blood that Bonds and downloaded it months ago..I finally had time to read it and I couldn’t put it down..I LOVED The Blood that Bonds, and had to get Blood Hunt immediately! I am hooked !!! Cannot wait to read the next book :)
Nikki • September 24th, 2011 at 3:44 am
I am so very excited for number 3 to come out. I have fallen in love with so many characters and was unable to put your books down. I of course fell for Two in TBTB but also Tori and was very sad to see what happened to both of them in BH. In the end it worked out for Two but I fell for Naomi and was so upset for her. I truly lover her character and hope to see her again I find her very interesting. Anyway I wanted to say I LOVE your work (I am a very picky reader) I hope the next one will be out sooner rather than later.
heather • September 24th, 2011 at 11:39 am

Tina C • September 27th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
Chris your books are absolutely brilliant! I love Urban Fantasy style books and really enjoyed yours. I’m a big fan of Twilight and True Blood of course but I have to say I was taken aback when I read these! You really put a lot of effort into these. I’m sure anyone would agree! Keep up the good work and good luck on Children of the Sun! I hope to see it published soon!!! By the way do you have any estimate on when it might be out? I signed up for the news letter but the anticipations eating away!! lol LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
chris • September 27th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Hi Tina,
The Children of the Sun is scheduled for the Holiday Season of 2012, but I’m hoping to have it out ahead of schedule! :)
laura dawson • October 8th, 2011 at 5:42 am
Just like to say i absolutely love your books, cannot wait for the 3rd entry and to see what becomes of Tori
and her friendship with Two, thank you for giving everyone your writing your amazing :)
summer • October 25th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
I love your books cant wait till the next one comes out
liannallama • October 31st, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Please quit reading your blog comments and write faster, LOL! I just read the first two and am ready to continue!
chris • October 31st, 2011 at 10:26 pm
You know, it’s funny … it’s not so much the speed of writing. It’s that after a certain amount your brain is just like “I got no more today.” Some days it’s got 2500 words, some days it’s only got 500, and it doesn’t seem to matter how long I sit in front of the word processor or how fast I can type.
Fortunately, it’s been closer to 2500 a day lately. :)
tina lee • November 1st, 2011 at 1:22 pm
I love your books and can not wait until the next one comes out. Even with Blood Hunt being longer, I could have still read more. I know we (the readers) are never satisfied, but that just shows what a great writer you are. Thank you for the books and can’t wait for the next one to come out.
TheGoodbyeGirl • November 2nd, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Read both books, loved them both, cant wait for book 3 to come out, I am hoping Tori features heavily and that something good happens to her, I wont name names but I was soo sad when a character died in Blood Hunt they were really fun, but I am sure you have many more engaging character for us to love/hate/enjoy! Once I know you have a set publishing date for Children of the Sun I shall re-read The Blood that Bonds and Blood Hunt again to reacquaint myself with Two again.

I am so amazed how these books turned out, i must be honest when i saw the blood that binds on the free section i thought it would be a short story that would leave me hangin but after i started reading it i could not put it down.(literally) I cried when theroen died and when stephen died and when theroen came back i squealed in delight (scaring my entire family and my dog to death) i cant wait until the third book is available. Do you have a date set for its release? You are an amazing author. Do you have any other books?

chris • November 21st, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Hi Amber – The only books I’ve published so far are TBTB and Blood Hunt, but more are coming. Also, you can find a couple of novellas for free, in PDF format, by clicking the link above. TCS is scheduled for November-ish of 2012, but I’m hoping to have it out ahead of schedule. Glad you’re enjoying the series so far!

I came across your frre e-download of The Blood Thay Bonds. I read in a few days and had to jump to my computer and buy the second book, Blood Hunt. I am so in love with your books. I can say I would compair the to Twilight. I have read them to and your is the first I had to jump to to read as well. I can’t wait to read the third Children Of The Sun. I know it will be just as good. But I will also say I will hate to see it end. but all good books must come to an end sooner or later. Please keep on writing as much as you can. WAIING FOR BOOK 3

Iris • January 17th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Cannot wait for this third book.
brandy • January 22nd, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Blood Hunt was the only non-classic literature book I have ever paid for. I am traumatized that we have to wait till the end of the year for the third book! Ohwell, I am getting married in October and going on our honeymoon at the beach in December so hopefully I can bring it to read then??
Great characters. I definitely fell in love with Theroen and felt Two’s loss throughout the second book..
Thank you for being an accessible author who keeps us updated!
Kerry • February 10th, 2012 at 8:15 am
Blood that bonds was my first book on my kindle , I enjoyed every page, I bought the second, blood hunt straight after, I’m waiting for the third in the series, and cannot wait to read, I love the characters, the plot, blood love and survival , thank you for the great introduction to ebooks , great read, great writer, I look forward to future publication , thank you
Frank • February 15th, 2012 at 1:44 am
Bought a NOOK last week and read one of the free books on it, TBTB… tonight, I finished Blood Hunt and wish I had dragged it out a little longer… I can’t wait until the final book is out… Although I would have never considered myself a vampire fan, I must say, those two books so far were great reads… really hard to put them down!
Hayley • February 15th, 2012 at 6:18 am
OMG..Blood that bonds,Blood hunt AMAZING!! cant wait for the third book, dont know what to do with myself now lol..FANTASTIC…MORE BOOKS PLEASE..

Hey Chris (hope it is ok to call you Chris), thanks so much for the heads-up on BHs release. I bought it as soon as I got your email. The part where II and Theroen make out was (IMHO) a tad graphic. Amazing book can’t wait for Children of the Sun to come out. You are an amazing writer.
