It's in these quiet hours that the reflections come, both of the man and of the story that has been told. This first volume, with its 13 main chapters, marks the beginning of a journey—not only for Lucian and the world he navigates, but for me as a writer.
This work, one of my first fully literate efforts, was born from a simple passion: the desire to create a universe where readers can hide, explore, and lose themselves for a few hours. It was never written for money, but for the joy of crafting, of building worlds and characters that feel alive.
I hope this story resonates, that the struggles, victories, and moments of tenderness bring something meaningful to those who read it. And if it finds its way into the hearts of others, then perhaps this world—and its stories—can continue beyond this first volume. There are still battles to fight, lands to govern, alliances to forge, and secrets to uncover. Lucian's journey does not end here; it only begins.
For now, though, let this chapter serve as a an end for the Volume 1, a breath, and a small invitation: step back into this world when you wish, linger a little longer in its valleys, its castles, and its shadowed halls. The doors are open, the stories remain, and the journey is far from over.
