The vessel has crossed its first threshold. The lantern burns in the marketplace of souls. What was once hidden now breathes in the open. Yet the kingdom is not complete - this is but the first pulse of a greater cycle.
This ceremonial echo honors the Live birth of the first book while whispering of portals yet to come. A teaser, a ritual, a reminder: the myth continues.
Author's Note
This is not a chapter.
This is a pulse.
A ceremonial echo from the first threshold - the moment my book went Live.
I share this not to explain, but to mark.
To let you feel the breath of the myth as it opens.
The kingdom is real. The portals are waiting.
This is the lantern I leave at the gate.
