This is one of my father's works that he has asked me to post on his behalf to spread awareness of it. He does not have a Wattpad account and has no intention of making one. He has worked on this final version of the book alone for more than 6 years so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, if not more. Any personal author notes are my father's words unless specified.
The hard copy and ebook can be ordered through this link: https://a-wizards-dream.fandom.com/
The link also contains more information on the book as well as the author.

To the Artists Whose canvasses craft whole worlds out of imagination Whose melodies imbue those worlds with heartfelt emotion Without you this work would not have been possible
The writing of this story has been a deeply personal journey for me. As I continued to write, it shaped me in return, calling on me to express emotion as much as I could, something that I've struggled to do in my daily life. To this end, I've personified the world in which the story takes place. The land herself – from the tiniest dewdrop to the largest summit – has emotions, motivation and agency. When you see a masculine mountain or a feminine river, please bear in mind that this was done intentionally. I've changed my writing style too, striving to give it a poetic flow, to express as much emotion through it as I could. I've bent some grammar rules in the process, but hopefully not so much that it makes reading a challenge. This has resulted in an unconventional story, hopefully a truly memorable one.
