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.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

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
