Here's chapter 10! Seems like some of you are enjoying this story, and I'm having fun writing it, so all's good, I suppose. I'll keep working on Patreon chapters until we have fifty or so; then, we'll see if Royal Road likes it.
Have a great weekend. I'm gonna take a few hours off ...

When Victor finally returned to his chambers atop the central tower in his palace, he was exhausted. Tyla Haveshi had kept him talking to her, her son, Draj, and half a dozen elder cousins—the decision-makers in the clan—for ne...

I know most of you have read this content, but it's a bit more polished on Kindle! Not to mention, the audiobook performed by Robb Moreira is a lot of fun. I'd love it if some of you would check 'em out. If you have KU, it wouldn't cost you anything.

On another note, I was hoping I could ask you for some help. I seem to have attracted a hater over on Royal Road, and he's decided to leave the world a lengthy post about how awful my writing is on this story. If it were Cyber Dreams or Victor of Tucson, I'd ju...
