Freedom's Pyre ✓ [SAMPLE | Libertas Series | Book I]

Foreword

Welcome to Freedom's Pyre! This is a completed book with the sequel posted onto my profile (Freedom's Ascension). I welcome any and all feedback, votes, comments, PMs - anything at all! I hope that you will enjoy coming on Kit's adventure just as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

The cover is by the amazing, @AWFrasier, who brought Kit to life in a way I'd only dreamed it could be done. Thank you so much for breathing fire into him.

Thank you to all the readers who followed this story over the last five years and who without, it wouldn't be half the story it is today. You are all wonderful and I am honored to share the world of Vinculum with you all.

May you dance through the twilit spaces between the stars.
