Dear Reader,

As the author of this book, I'm excited to share with you not only the story within these pages but also a glimpse into its unique creation process. This novel represents a fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence (AI) assistance, pushing the boundaries of storytelling in the digital age.

Throughout the development of this book, I collaborated with AI to enhance various aspects of the narrative:

- Storytelling: The AI helped generate ideas and refine details, allowing me to explore new creative directions.
- World-building: AI assistance contributed to creating rich, consistent environments for our characters to inhabit.
- Character development: The AI aided in fleshing out character backgrounds and ensuring consistent character voices.

It's important to note that while AI played a supportive role, every major plot decision, emotional arc, and character journey is my creation. I used AI as a tool to unlock creative potential and amplify my imagination, always under my close guidance and direction. This approach ensured originality and creativity free from plagiarism or copyright infringement.

Your engagement with this story is invaluable, and I welcome your thoughts and observations. If you notice any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please don't hesitate to share them. Your feedback is not only appreciated but essential in refining and enhancing this book for future editions.

Your insights contribute significantly to the ongoing development of this work, and I'm grateful for your careful reading and consideration. The combination of AI assistance in creation and reader feedback in refinement represents an exciting new frontier in literature.

The use of AI in creative writing raises important questions about authorship, creativity, and the future of storytelling. I believe in transparency regarding AI involvement and am open to discussing this process further. If you have any questions or concerns about the AI's role in this book, please feel free to reach out.

I hope you enjoy this unique journey as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thank you for being a part of this innovative approach to storytelling.

With sincere thanks and excitement for the future of literature,

— A. L. Allen
