Introduction: Hello and welcome to my public debut in writing a story that鈥檒l hopefully stick around for longer than my prior drafts did. Kid Under Blue is a supernatural alt-history novel set in the twilight of the Sasanian Empire and the dawn of Islam. This is the first book in the Whims of Yondered Shores series. I hope you鈥檒l have as much fun reading it as I鈥檝e had writing.You鈥檒l follow Arash Mehernosh, a privileged Zoroastrian merchant鈥檚 son born in 612 CE, on his lifelong journey through war, trade, and discovery.You may expect realistic character dynamics, a non-eurocentric and attentive historical revisionism, a rules-bound esoteric magic system, and the deliberate absence of progression fantasy tropes.New chapters will drop on the last Sunday of each month (8 PM CEST) to prioritize quality. A biweekly schedule may follow if interest mounts. Chapters are polished through iterative revisions, and reader feedback is invaluable鈥攔eviews and comments are warmly welcomed!For now, there鈥檚 no way to support me financially鈥擨鈥檓 not on Patreon and am publishing exclusively via RoyalRoad. If you spot my work elsewhere, please notify me and avoid dubious sources.All rights reserved. However, I鈥檓 open to collaboration requests as I aim to build a shared-world franchise.With love,Alp Kaplan....
