Come join my discord for fun banter and first hand news about the book! **** "I don't think so, buddy," Aldrich chuckled, the more Uldin was willing to pay the more he was assured of his decision.

Aldrich found that writing down his ideas made him feel more assured about them an cleared some foggy details. Obviously saving Isger by begging an Archbishop was only one way to do it, and he was not a man to put all his eggs in one basket.
