This novel is very interesting and I’m very invested in it. I’ve always liked political stories like this since I read a lot of books on dark psychology. The story, world building and development is amazing. I also like Silas’s character and can’t wait to see more of it. I just hopes he gains powers or some type of magic. Preferably blood or runes.

Hey! I just wanted to say I really admire your storytelling, it’s so expressive and cinematic. I’m a freelance comic artist, and your story instantly made me think of a full comic adaptation. Would you be open to chatting about how that could look? I’m on Discord (harper_clark) or Instagram (_harperr_) and gmail [email protected]
