Title change

The original title of the second book in the Clans series was Sacrificial Lamb, but when I began to re-write it to be truer to the main character, I decided to re-name it Sacrifice. There are people in this novel who are sacrificing themselves to their ambitions, to their pride, to their fear, to their self-delusion, and ultimately they sacrifice everything they love the most. Like a lot of second acts, it's rather sad.

I'm almost finished with the re-write, and happy for it. I think the new version is better than the old, and it fits better with Nightchild. The first draft was hijacked by a secondary character, and I lost track of the fact that this story is essentially a triangle: Tobyn, Dumas, and Ara. Everyone else is just ancillary, or sometimes just window dressing, and even if their impacts are occasionally profound, they serve mostly to trigger an action or a reaction in one of the three main actors.

Now comes the hard part, when the triangle has been blown apart. We'll see how this works out.
