Are There Any Sequels To The Confluence?

I’ve been hunting for digital copies of obscure books lately, and 'The Confluence' came up in my searches. From what I’ve found, it’s not officially available as a PDF—at least not through legitimate channels. Some indie authors or small presses might distribute PDFs directly, but for this one, I struck out. I checked platforms like Gumroad, itch.io, and even the author’s personal site, but nada. That said, I stumbled across a few forum threads where people mentioned scanning physical copies for personal use, which isn’t ideal. If you’re desperate, maybe try reaching out to the publisher? Sometimes they’re open to sending digital versions if you’ve already bought the hardcopy. Otherwise, it might be worth keeping an eye on ebook releases—things change fast in the indie scene.

I stumbled upon 'The Confluence' during a random bookstore visit, and its premise hooked me instantly. At its core, it’s a sprawling sci-fi epic that weaves together parallel dimensions, ancient civilizations, and a group of flawed but fascinating characters who discover they’re 'Confluents'—people capable of navigating between worlds. The author blends hard sci-fi concepts with intimate human drama, like a scientist grappling with her newfound abilities while her estranged father resurfaces as a key figure in the dimensional rift. The world-building is insane; one chapter delves into a steampunk-esque realm, the next into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, all tied together by this mysterious 'Confluence' energy. What really stuck with me was how the story explores the cost of power. The Confluents aren’t just heroes—they’re struggling with existential dread, ethical dilemmas, and the toll their gifts take on their bodies. There’s a particularly haunting scene where one character accidentally merges with an alternate version of themselves, creating this heartbreaking identity crisis. It’s not just about cool dimension-hopping; it asks if we’d sacrifice our humanity to become something more. The sequel teased at the end has me counting down the days.

I picked up 'The Confluence' a few months ago, and it’s one of those books that feels like a doorstopper in the best way possible. My hardcover edition clocks in at 784 pages, which sounds intimidating, but the way the story unfolds makes it fly by. It’s got this epic, multi-POV structure that reminds me of 'The Stormlight Archive'—every time you think you’re about to take a breath, another twist pulls you deeper. What’s wild is how the author balances dense worldbuilding with these intimate character moments. I’d often lose track of time reading because the pacing doesn’t feel like 700+ pages. If you’re into sprawling fantasies with intricate lore, the page count won’t scare you; it’ll just make you wish there were more.

I totally get the hunt for free reads—budgets can be tight, and books like 'The Confluence' sound intriguing! While I haven’t stumbled across a legit free version online, I’d recommend checking out platforms like Wattpad or Royal Road first. Sometimes indie authors post early drafts there, or fan communities share snippets. Another angle: libraries! Apps like Libby or Hoopla might have digital copies if you’ve got a library card. It’s not ‘free’ per se, but it feels like it since you’re already paying taxes. Just a thought—supporting authors when you can is awesome, but I’ve definitely been in the ‘scrounging for freebies’ phase too.

The Confluence' is a lesser-known gem, and tracking down its author took me on a wild ride! After digging through forums and old book listings, I finally pieced together that it was written by S.L. Farrell. His name doesn’t pop up as often as some mainstream fantasy authors, but his work has this intricate world-building that reminds me of early 'Wheel of Time' vibes—just with more political intrigue. Farrell’s style is dense but rewarding, and 'The Confluence' is part of his 'Nessantico Cycle,' which dives deep into empire dynamics and magical lore. If you’re into sprawling, character-driven fantasy, it’s worth hunting down a copy. What’s funny is how I stumbled upon it—someone mentioned it offhand in a Reddit thread about underrated series, and now I’m hooked. The way Farrell weaves cultural clashes with personal drama feels fresh, even though the book came out over a decade ago. It’s one of those books where you either love the slow burn or bounce off hard, but I’m firmly in the former camp.
