Thank you for joining me on this journey. This story was born from my love of fantasy worlds—places where courage is tested, friendships are forged, and even the smallest choices can shape destiny. While the battles and monsters fill these pages with danger, at its heart this tale is about resilience, trust, and finding one’s place in an unfamiliar world.

I hope you connect with the struggles and triumphs of the characters as much as I did while writing them. Each chapter reflects the idea that strength is not just in power, but in perseverance, compassion, and the bonds we build along the way.
