As the wait for the Alpha might take a bit longer, I would like to recommend some books for interested readers - it might help to pass the time 
Last week came out last part of the fantasy (i know, not historical fiction, but tell me who doesnât like also Game of Thrones?!) trilogy Land fit for heroes - âDark Defilesâ (this trilogy is very loosely connected to Morganâs other sci-fi books with agent Kovacs - (Ahn Foi = Envoy) - also very recommended)
The main hero is bad-ass, he knows how to use a sword, has 2 bad-ass side-kicks, and also most surprisingly for this genre - he is gay (yes, his steel is very âpotentâ!).
I recently re-read the first 2 books (1st is a bit slow to get going, the 2nd is much more action packed) and iâm now in the middle of the 3rd.
So if you are interested in some sword-hack-action in fantasy settings (there isnât really a âmagicâ at all) - read it!
