Introduction
Hello! Thank you for coming to read this little project of mine. I am a new writer and I started writing this during NaNo/Writathon.
I aim to post 1x a week but may be delayed. My apologies, but as always, thank you so much for reading. My apologies, but as always, thank you so much for reading. This is also being crossposted on Royal Road and Wattpad.
Other Information
As far as the story goes, I'm not trying to really reinvent the wheel so the fantasy and romance tropes/conventions will probably seem pretty familiar. Romance will be a slow burn and this was previously tagged with "Action" but I removed that since it only covers a select number of scenes.
The profanity label is to be safe, but cursing is fairly minimal in the story.
Thanks again!
