On Ko-fi I am offering a free copy of the Prologue to my fantasy story. As I’m still figuring out what the title will be, for now I am simply calling it The Elven Uprising.

You deserve to know what sort of content/writing you will be paying for, so this one is on me!

*Please note that this is not the finalized or official cover art for the book. This is merely a temporary one I am using. *This is also an unrevised copy of the Prologue - meaning it has not been sent to an Editor
