INTEMPERANCE X is the tenth and final novel in the main Intemperance series—a culmination of two decades of music, relationships, and consequences set against the backdrop of the band’s biggest moment yet.
Jake Kingsley is still at the center of it all: a working rock god, fiercely private about the life he’s built and unapologetic about the one he’s chosen. Alongside him are Laura Kingsley and Celia Valdez-Kingsley—partners in love, family, and music—whose bond has been forged through years of scrutiny, misunderstanding, and hard-earned trust. Together, they’ve learned that honesty is not the same as safety, and that living openly always comes with a price.
As Intemperance prepares to headline a massive festival show, the night unfolds through many eyes: bandmates, crew, lovers, friends, and witnesses both onstage and off. The music is loud, the stakes are personal, and nothing about this moment exists in isolation—every note played carries the weight of everything that came before it.
This final volume returns to the heart of the series: what it means to live at full volume, to love without apology, and to accept that even the most powerful lives are shaped as much by consequence as by choice. Intimate, unflinching, and deeply human, INTEMPERANCE X brings the main saga to a close without shortcuts or sentimentality—honoring the people who built this world and the readers who stayed with them to the end.
A novel-length epilogue will follow, exploring the aftermath and long echo of what comes after.
