Chapter seven will be releasing in a week! Get ready to meet Lenore on November 8th!
CHAPTER SEVEN - THE TALE OF LENORE ARGYROS: PART ONE “Remorse in Remembrance” Lenore Argyros awakens in the side of a mountain with no memories of how she got there. She was buried within a coffin that marks the date of her death as ten years prior, a confusing revelation for a woman who is very much alive. Lenore stumbles her way down the mountain and into the nearby village of Stonepass Valley. There, she finds herself suspected of kidnapping townsfolk over the last few weeks. Lenore vows to get to the bottom of the mystery and clear their name, but in the process, they uncover a dark plot constructed by an unknown figure. The only trace of truth they can find is a single word: “Moonlight.” With no other clues as to their missing memories, Lenore leaves Stonepass Valley to learn more about “Moonlight” and how it ties in with the past they no longer remember.

CHAPTER FOUR - THE TALE OF TATIANA OLWEN: PART ONE “Hidden Amid Flowers” Tatiana Olwen is the star performer of the Freyorian Bouquet, a traveling troupe of singers and dancers.

Beneath it all, Tatiana is hiding a dark secret, one she knows will change the way others view her forever. She runs from the past out of the hope that no one will ever discover it. When one of the Bouquet’s shows is sabotaged, Tatiana recognizes the culprit as someone from her horrific history she had hoped she would never see again. In the name of defending her friends, Tatiana rushes into action to lay the past to rest once and for all… But this is one battle she will never be able to undo, and its consequences are set to change the course of her life–and her role within the theatre troupe she calls home–forever…

A brief announcement about the release of the series:
Release Date Delay Announcement Due to recent conflicts in my personal life, the release of A Road Never Walked Alone is being delayed by two months. Unexpected circumstances came up, and I have not been able to work on the website as much as I would have liked. Instead of releasing its first chapter on March 8th, A Road Never Walked Alone will be debuting on May 8th. I promise the story will be more than worth the wait when it releases. I am working hard to deliver the best possible story I can give you, and I look forward to sharing it with you all when May comes around! Have a wonderful day, and I will see you all soon with the first promotional posts for the release of the story! Crescent Zephyr
