Advertisement
hello everyone! First of all, apologies for this not-a-chapter announcement, but RR doesn’t have a better mechanism to contact everyone who might be interested in this news: Epilogue has been picked up by a publisher! This includes an ebook of course, but also a paperback and audiobook! Preorders are up now, and release date is June 7th.

To head off some questions:
Will this version be taken down?
No! This novel is not entering the Kindle Unlimited platform, so the original version on RoyalRoad isn’t going anywhere. That said, the published version is a significant improvement, so I highly recommend it :)
Sequel/prequel/etc?
No plans, but never say never.
Your other works?
Snipe has been picked up by the same publisher! Expect it soon with the same great production quality :) For my other writing, I’ve unfortunately been very preoccupied with life (covid, my house burned down, had surgery, couple other nightmares). Hopefully news on those soon.

Thank you all for reading, and for joining me on this writing journey. I super appreciate all the comments and reviews this story has received. We peaked at #3 on RoyalRoad and have stuck in the top 10 completed stories since it was posted, three years ago. That’s a remarkable run already, and I owe it to the readers. I'll be around for any questions in the comments here—I read every single comment you post, even if I don't respond on many.
Vei illum dellis 💙

Warlock's Gate [DROPPED]
In the empire of Orinthian, Fallon Gaumond, a young Warlock, is determined to be free from her father’s controlling demands and become a Sentinel. At her side, cloaked in shadows, is her Dementher familiar, Asmodeus, who is equally committed to seeing the Warlock grow to reach her full potential. But dealing with her overly hungry companion while keeping her secret, illegal visits to Highguard’s city dungeon hidden is the least of Fallon’s problems. As a Praeditus, she is expected to serve alongside her father and the rest of Highguard’s Praefecti to resolve the growing problem of refugees fleeing an adversary even the strongest Sentinel dare not face alone. The Gates which strike Orinthian with ever-growing frequency and pour upon these war-hardened cities merciless invading hordes of monsters from other dimensions who seek to pillage, burn, and slaughter everything that stands in their way. Please Note this is my first attempt at a litRPG. I also ask that you keep an open mind as I will be diverging, in my own way, from many of the litRPG stories I have read. For those of you who missed it, this is a Multiple Lead Characters story, hence the tag. I should also mention that this will get crunchy as far as numbers go and please pay attention to the Profanity tag.
