I want to take this moment between Book 1 and Book 2 to do a couple things.

  First, as I am wont to do, I want to thank my loyal readers, and followers.

  I know I say this a lot, but I am truly grateful for everyone who comes on this journey with me.

  So from the bottom of my heart and with my undying gratitude,

  Thank you all

  Second, I want to thank those around me who have helped keep this thing going.

  This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

  I want to thank my wife for giving me the encouragement to start writing a book. She is my inspiration, my muse, and my greatest source of love. Without her I couldn't be who I am today.

  I want to thank my oldest friend Brandon. He has always been the first person to stand up for the things I do, he is my greatest fan, and with out him this book couldn't exist.

  I have to thank everyone who has ever played at my D&D table. The countless hours of laughter, revelry, and collaboration have honed my storytelling to what it is today.

  An author couldn't ask for a better group of people to have around them.

  In closing, I want everyone to know I have found a passion in this writing and I don't see a time where I will ever stop. I am full of stories and the world of Mir has lived with me for so long it is like a second home. I hope I continue to entertain you and maybe even provide something to help you forget about the world for a little while.

  Sincerely,

  R. C. Vetta
