Readers of Royal Road,
I have been working non-stop on the manuscript for the first book of the series (which ends with the Grotesque storyline). I have been too busy between that and my actual job to write the next few posts. As a result, I will not be able to post today, but I should be able to go forward on Wednesday. I apologize for the disruption.
Thank you for reading and I hope you understand.
