I got the pleasure to be an ARC reader, for a book coming out in April called Conceal Me by August Wright. It is a wonderful RH, with touch-her-and-die vibes, as well as three distinctly different archetypes for the MMCs. The FMC, Dove, is headstrong but doesn't know how or why she is in the castle!

Knowing that this app can't do much to stop AI scraping has given me a hell of a lot of frustration. The percentage of people who actually WANT to interact with AI does not balance with the number of companies shoving it in our faces. And so it goes.

Today, I am introducing the character Siltern Graywing. Siltern is from the etheral and mysterious Glowwoods in Strickken, which, not many have been welcomed into. Siltern is the youngest of the Adventurers, but is also one of the most imbued with magic after Nydar.

Meet Thacker Shieldwood, Blessed of the Stars, the 'damage-soak' of the Adventurers, if you know the term. Thacker grew up in Headwind with his family as well as his girlfriend, Shatter. Thacker is a kindhearted fighter, with a good morale compass and a willingness to aid those in need.

Sometimes you need to write or type out what you feel instead of speaking. That is still communication and perfectly acceptable in conversing.

Meet Chevial Nydar Brymm. While Nydar is the hero, Chevial is our first-person look into this world. Chevial's simple goal is to take on the family's giant farm for Tur'sqlu, but those plans are interrupted by Nydar demanding they join his quest. They never thought they'd return alone.

Meet Nydar Sharpstone, hero of our little tale, primed and ready to take on an evil tyrant king and rule the country of Strickken into peace after his arduous journey! He was born in the small village of Tur'sqlu merely minutes before his best friend. He's happy-go-lucky but hero-trained!
