This is the prologue to The Final Hour! It will come out on December 8th.

My name is Eadu Jade. Queen of Faiyria
Troublemaker, general sass master.
Well, I used to be.
But times have changed.
And so have I.
I used to smile. I used to laugh. I used to believe that every story had a happy ending.
I used to believe that only hero's died in war.
I'm no hero. I'm just a scared little girl. But judging by where I'm standing, I'm not going to be on this Earth too much longer.
This is where I'm supposed to make a beautiful speech, saying how I may die tonight in body, but I will live on in people's memories. That I'm proud of the way I lived, and that nobody can ever tear me down.
Bull.
I'm so broken.
I want to escape. But the funny thing is, I don't want to die yet. I want to live. I want to get married, have kids, and grow old happily.
Oh yea, I also used to believe in true love.
If I die right here, right now, then I will have failed. I'm not a person who takes failing easily. I don't want to die.
I don't want to go.
I don't want to go.
