I''m usually loathe to promise content, but I''ve written (and am diligently working on) several new chapters. Somebody mentioned in a comment that things seemed to move fast, and that''s because I left out about a quarter of the book! The chapter before the last (the Fall of Ys) should be the middle of the story, not the end, so there are quite a few chapters on the way.


    I had to tell a couple of friends to stop before the end of Book 1, so I thought I''d make it official. I deleted a bunch of chapters (including all of Book 2, which will go up in some form when Book 1 is complete) and the end of Book 1. If you''ve already read it, I''m sorry that it spoiled the big plot twist for you.


    Reading back I discovered that I have to slash half of Chapter 15 and rewrite it. Slash will be happening now, rewrite later. I''ll keep you updated.


    I''m going to post a new chapter in a bit. Some oddities might include:


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    * The chapter number being wildly off from what''s currently posted because I condensed some of the earlier chapters.


    * Um...that may be it.


    The earlier chapters are going to be rewritten (maybe only slightly; I don''t know yet) sometime after I finish new chapters. Book 2 will be updated after I finish these edits. There aren''t any differences that would affect the plot, so you don''t have to worry.


    To be clear, I''ll be re-posting the current chapters of Book 2 when Book 1 has been completely uploaded.


    Please keep in mind that these are fairly rough drafts. If you spot any major continuity errors, please drop a comment and let me know.


    I''m also trying to get some kind of Substack or Patreon going that might include extra world-building info (like a deeper dive into how magic works or some of the geopolitical and historical details of the world). None of that''s written yet, though, so we''ll see.


    So, a new chapter today and another one...maybe next week? My "backlog" is minuscule but I''d like to keep things moving.


    So, please enjoy and I hope you''ll see me soon!
