I'm a 26 year old ELA teacher in the United States. When I was a boy, my mother would read to me every night before bed. She spurred my love for fantasy and imaginative stories with incredible characters. As a teacher, I've always wanted to have a novel that I could read alongside my students and discuss. The novel is a big project, and I may still have some errors occasionally. This novel is setup with a plot structure that lends itself toward being a multi-book series. What I mean is that the characters in book one will fully complete one conflict arc; however, simultaneously, new elements are introduced as a grander scale conflict which will span the longevity of the series. I have a clear end destination in mind for all of the characters, realm, and various conflicts. You may not like what happens, but I'm sure you'll be surprised.</p> <p>It's my goal to have some wonderful people here at Royal Road read my book first and provide comments. I really hope you'll enjoy this world in the same way that I've enjoyed crafting it.</p>
