Afterword from the Author
A Word from the Author
The following work contains mature themes, including but not limited to detailed representations of violent combat, death, and occasional profanity that are intended for a mature audience and may not be suitable for children under the age of unknown.
In truth, there are many other mature themes throughout the entire novel that cover a wide range of topics, many of which are quite personal. Though the original intent was to produce an adventure fantasy with a mixture of personal struggle, character development, and plenty of action… somehow some romance slipped in.
The story is mostly a fictional one with real life experiences strewn about for added realism, but all names or places contained within are purely fictitious with no relation to any real-life entity.
As far as the contents and the relatively short chapters are concerned, the original design of the work was as a weekly web-novel and was written as such. The general premise for those unfamiliar with that format is self-contained short chapters that can be read individually and within ten to thirty minutes on the go.
