What a cliffhanger of an ending!! Do you plan to write any more? I'd love to find out what happens next.

That's the plan! I need to do some more research first though. Typically for me, I had an idea for a story set in a period where I only know the broad strokes of the history, so I need to put in the work to understand the world so I can really play in it.

It really felt like an excerpt from a novel with all the depth you included. Do let me know if you release any more as I’d love to read it 🥰

Thank you! Chapter 6 is on the way - too much life for writing in the past few weeks!
