Hey all, I hope everyone had a fantastic summer.

  As you may have noticed, I failed to continue this story. Rather than letting it sit abandoned, I’ve decided to officially announce the dropping of this story. I had so many good ideas as to where the story would go, but when coming back to writing this summer I failed to find any enjoyment in continuing the story. This announcement is bittersweet; it feels so wrong to leave this unfinished, but dropping it will allow me to focus on regaining the spark that I had when first writing In Umbra Hasta and on writing something new and hopefully better.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  I am a far better author now than I was when I started writing this, and I’m finding myself drawn to start new stories rather than continuing this one. I’ve gotten a few chapters into a few before dropping them due to not really getting into them. I want to avoid running into the lack of motivation that hampered this story so much at the end. I just finished the prologue of one that I’m feeling really, really good about, so I hope to share it with you soon if it works out.

  Thank you all so much for reading. It was an honor and a pleasure to write my first story for such an incredible group of readers. I hope to see you all in the comments of whatever I should write next <3<3
