Sequel to The Gard

Ok, I know I've been promising to upload the sequel to The Gard for almost a week now.  I'm putting the finishing touches on the last chapter, but I'm struggling with my decision to kill off a major character to the series.  Even though I know it must be done, I'm kind of attached and am having a hard time letting go...  I plan on having the completed book, The Nephilim uploaded by 8/27 to Amazon.com for the Kindle...
