Welcome! The Claw is the third in a saga of five planned novels taking place in my fantasy world of Legea. The first of these, The Journey, is currently submitting to literary agents and I have taken it down, all but the first three chapters. Its sequel, The Village, I completed a short while ago and will be removing from Wattpad in about a month. If you want to get a look at what I consider publish-worthy material, you are welcome to read them. XD
Haven't read the first two? Don't worry! This book, if not a stand-alone per se, is more a stand-alone than was The Village. If you choose to read, you will miss some background information and may find the first chapter a tad confusing, but you will not lack any of the essentials to the story and I may venture to say you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.
All the same, I STRONGLY encourage you to read the prior books, or as much of them as you are able, in order to give you a better sense of the characters.
This is a draft! Any suggestions and criticism are welcome. Just please be nice about it. I'm a person *cough* not a robot.
Final note: My previous two books I consider to be fairly mild content-wise, probably ages 10+. However, I have rated this book PG-13 for depictions of intense emotional trauma and some dark-ish themes, as well as mild violence and scary images.
Again, welcome, and thank you for *virtually* picking up this book. I hope you enjoy The Claw!
