Daniel Corners takes a shortcut that changes his world when he accidentally stumbles into an ancient estate managed by an unusual group of people. Wrought Iron is my project for National Novel Writing Month November 2022, and simultaneously for the Royal Road Writathon. For more information about NaNoWriMo, check out https://nanowrimo.org/ In the spirit of NaNoWriMo, Wrought Iron's chapters will be published solely as a first draft (cursory spellchecking and editing-while-writing notwithstanding). If you see a plot hole or a problem with the story structure, feel free to point it out. If I decide to do an edited pass of Wrought Iron, I'll definitely take it into consideration.

Bear with me, I'm trying (but also, don't be shy about telling me where I've erred, I want to improve).
