I’m serializing Imperial Slave, Book 1 of The Waking World, on my Substack. Chapter 4 is out today. The captain is hunting for a palace. Tina knows it burned down years ago. What he is really after is a lost document that could change Greenhills’ place in the Empire, and he needs her to find it.

Read Chapter 4 on Substack New to the story? Start with Chapter 1. New chapters go up every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
