My first ARC period is about over, and it was both a stressful and exciting period.

Thanks to early feedback, I streamlined the beginning to follow Fionn for many chapters before swapping to Eckart. Hopefully this grounds readers with the story before diverging into multiple story paths.

I couldn't help but keep adding more romance as I went. Not only was it very fun, but I felt it added a lot to the characters. Now there's quite a bit and more to come in the sequel (hooray!)

I'm super proud of the final product and excited for it to come out. Many thanks to those who gave their honest thoughts to help make the final release the best it could be!
