Stipe Lozina Unveils the Behind-the-Scenes Journey of the Highly Anticipated “Revenge of the Past” Fifth Installment

Author Reveals Creative Challenges and Upcoming Plans for “Drops of Blood”

After years of anticipation and curiosity from devoted readers, Stipe Lozina, author of the “Revenge of the Past” series, is breaking his silence about the long-delayed fifth book in the series. In an exclusive behind-the-scenes reveal, Lozina sheds light on the creative process that led to multiple delays in the release of the anticipated installment titled “Drops of Blood.”

Lozina’s decision to open up comes after numerous inquiries from fans who have been eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series. “Drops of Blood” was originally conceived during the development of the third book in the series, which served as the conclusion to the first story arc within “Revenge of the Past.” However, as Lozina neared the completion of the third book, the narrative direction of “Drops of Blood” began to shift significantly, sending the story into new and unexpected territory.

This evolving creative process was further influenced by the simultaneous writing of the series’ prequel, “He Saved Us,” and a spin-off storyline, “A Call For Help.” These two projects, released consecutively, further transformed Lozina’s vision of what the second story cycle of “Revenge of the Past” should be. The author revealed that the final quarter of the “Drops of Blood” manuscript underwent five major rewrites, each of which altered his perspective on the narrative that would follow.

“With each rewrite, the story deepened in complexity, and what I initially thought would follow evolved in unexpected ways,” Lozina explained. “It’s a process that was both challenging and rewarding. I had to allow the narrative to unfold organically, even when it meant going back to the drawing board more times than I ever imagined.”

Lozina also revealed a key detail about the timeline of “Drops of Blood.” The events in this fifth book take place a year and a half after the conclusion of the third book. The author acknowledged that this passage of time in the fictional world mirrored the real-world gap between the two releases. “It took almost four years in real time for me to find the right direction for the continuation of the series. In many ways, that time was necessary to do justice to the story and its future.”

Despite the delays and creative challenges, Lozina candidly admitted that he had considered canceling the series at various points throughout the process. “There were moments when the thought of stopping altogether crept in. But each time, I reminded myself that this story deserves to be finished. I owe it to the readers and to myself to see it through.”

Lozina’s commitment to the series, despite nearly four years without a new release, culminates in a promise to his readers: “Drops of Blood” is indeed coming, and it will not only continue the story but also pave the way for the future of the “Revenge of the Past” saga.

Fans who have followed the series since its inception can look forward to a more mature and intricately developed narrative, one that reflects the personal and creative growth Lozina has experienced over the past few years. The release date for “Drops of Blood” will be announced in the coming months, and readers are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates from the author.
