The Dividing Road

33 min read

Cover for The Dividing Road

The road does not divide by choice. What began as pursuit becomes procession, and the miles to Lorn are no longer traveled freely. The narrative follows bound prisoners en route to the city of Lorn, where power resides in ancient stone and the Covenant operates openly. Not all will reach the gates; an unexpected presence awaits within the walls that will alter subsequent events.

For readers who love

  • Bound prisoners whose journey is no longer their own
  • Cities of ancient stone and the powers that hide within them
  • Sudden reversals that change everything

Opportunity rarely arrives announced. It appears in confusion, in divided attention, in the moment when a single mistake becomes enough.
