Two years after Prince Heiko witnessed the death of his father during the 91st Battle of Tyton, and subsequently, the defeat of his kingdom, he was sent to the gates of the victor, armed with nothing but empty words and a command from his elder brother to form a treaty of peace. 

Two years after General Celestino Adesso released the arrow that felled the great king of Simo, he is presented with the youngest of his sons. Though barely a man at seventeen summers, the prince was far from wet behind the ears. In fact, his tactful yet brazen form of statecraft vaulted him far beyond his years. Coupled with his draconian mannerisms, and a knack for callous pleasure, it was only a matter of time before Celestino caught a whiff of something sinister. 

But Prince Heiko was no fool. He was betting heavily on that sharp nose. He wanted a sense of dubiety to gnaw at the general. He needed to create mistrust in his elder brother in order to build credence in himself. Because he knew of Celestino Adesso, and of the illustrious king he served. He knew they wouldn't trust him over his elder brother any more than they would trust a raincloud to bring sun. He knew that to those men, he wasn't honorable, and because of that, he was forced to play the games he was known for. The ones that conspired in the dead of night, the ones that spoke no words but shifted kingdoms. The ones that could obtain the allegiance of General Celestino. Little did the young prince know, however, allegiance was not all he would obtain. But no matter how much Heiko wanted to offer the man what he desired, he could not - not while bound to the gods.

Hallowed Be

At only 36 chapters, I was not expecting such patronage, and I cannot express to you how much the support has motivated my production of 'Hallowed Be'. 


Initially, the plan was to churn out a couple of chapters each week, to expand my audience base and to garner trust in those already loyal readers. My original 'chapter dump' - if you will - was around 24, and the view count (while meager compared to some goliaths on this platform!) was unprecedented for an author like myself. Amongst those views, I have come across a few readers that I believe deserve a shoutout, as their feedback, votes, powerstones, and support have been far more valuable that they can ever know. 


Thank you @DezerayT, @mudita_upreti, @lesliemay, @Refrigerator03, and @devil_in_detail. I wish I could follow you all back, but alas, my current status does not allow me to link my story with my WebNovel account. Please know that I have followed you all back in my heart! 


But enough with the sappy stuff, as none of you are likely here for that. 


First, please be on the lookout for today's chapter release - it will be dropping within a few hours. 


Second, though I am clearly quite late, a free extra will be released within the week in celebration of Easter! 


Third, should anyone have questions or comments that are directed specifically to yours truly, @rat_tiger1996 is the unofficial cheerleader of 'Hallowed Be' and can connect us. Shoot them a message if ever you need! (Oh, also! Watch for their posts on the page, as they have been working on some character art!) 


Alright, now I'm off to make good of my promises.
