Chapter 11
Chapter 13

While writing this story & coming to this point I realized I’d pretty well deviated from my original outline, which I mentioned last time, to the point where it’d be pretty tough to get back to what I initially had down for these final 2-3 chapters… but where we’re going will be, I think, a lot more coherent + a lot more satisfying of a resolution. But that’s just the way stories go, right? They’ve got a life of their own, and if they wanna do something new, it’s up to you to let ‘em.

I also had a lot of fun with the interactions in this one! For those of y’all who read Heart of the Forest or who care about the deeper world lore: yes, Daro was a part of the forest wolf tribe out there. She was kidnapped/captured before she could undergo her own bloodrites and thus never bonded, which… naturally led to some degradation of her sanity, though Lord Thorn clearly never loved her any less for it. Funny enough, according to my timeline + Volo’s age, this would’ve put Daro at almost exactly the same age as Noma. Which means they might’ve known each other as pups. Weird.

This story is funded by my lovely supporters, who right now can read all the way through chapter 17! Otherwise, Ghost of a Rose updates every other Tuesday.

I'm also open and actively looking for commissions! In short, 1000 word story sketches are $35 flat, and full 4000+ word stories start at $200ish. Ping me here or on Telegram shekhels for more info <3
