I do hope this is but one chapter of this story. What a fantastic world (and characters) you've created! And congrats on the Lunar Award. A worthy winner.

Thank you 😁 I am working on more stories set in the same world so I'm sure Malash will pop up again somewhere!

That was great! What a fun read - never got held up, the whole thing just flowed nicely, and such an imagination you’ve got. Well done!

Fantastic energy, engaging imaginative and fun. You are a writer of vision and might well go far up the mountain heap of fantasy writing. Fun stuff so thanks.

Thank you so much! I'm quite new to sword and sorcery but it's a genre I'm very interested in exploring further.
