The Journey
Every great story begins long before its first page is read.
This chronicle follows my journey as I bring Paladin of God to life from the final revisions of the manuscript and the creation of artwork, music, maps, and languages, to the many milestones leading to publication and beyond.
Here I share the progress of the world of Aërwa as it continues to grow. From new reveals and behind-the-scenes developments to future books in the Tale of Ascension Trilogy, this page serves as a living record of the road ahead.
The journey does not end with the publication of the first book. It is only the beginning.
