The Unearthed Saga is long, and hopefully far from over. Although, now is as good a time as any to reflect on the grandness of this journey. To bring characters through years of change, to create their history and come to forge the trials that define who they become, forces an incredible sense of achievement. Like all of the books I’ve read and loved, these characters feel like they’re alive in some alternate dimension. And to be able to share that feeling, and provide entertainment, is something that no one person could accomplish alone:
Angela Rose, my editor and right-hand throughout this entire process. We shared an adventure that is much like Blague’s - long, winding, full of gun fights and Cryos… well maybe not all of that. But it sure has been electric. Thank you for spending all of that time to keep me in check throughout this series, because who knows what type of shape this would have been in without your words of sanity.
Alexandria Berardi, the second editor and eyes of wisdom throughout the saga, thanks for your brutal honesty, comments, tips, thoughts of shortfalls and overabundances. We all stand better with your overwatch.
To the cover designer: James T. Egan of Bookfly Design. Bringing Blague and Mulderan to life in your artwork will continuously serve as a valuable source of inspiration for me.
And to the fans - thank you all for your support.

About the Author
Growing up, Marc Mulero was out of his mind (and perhaps still is). He knew full well that his creative, untamed intellect was divergent from the pack. Ill-equipped with an inability to focus in school and a strong desire to explore, Marc was barely present wherever he was expected to be. It wasn’t until his twenties that he retreated from indulging in the vibrant scenarios playing out in his head and emerged to join the business force, or as he calls it, the Spock-side of this world. So, there he went, earning his master’s degree and CPA license in the process. Surprisingly, he managed to find some enjoyment while experiencing this new chapter in his life.
One winter’s night, in the midst of a bout of insomnia, he heard the sound of a lightsaber beam within his head. Being an avid fan of all things unnatural and missing the colorful world of imagination, he realized that he’d abandoned a part of him that he once valued above all. So, in the spirit of staying true to oneself, he decided to resurrect his passion in the form of a novel. He worked long hours during the day dressed in suit and tie, so that he could relish in scribing his fantasies deep into the night. His tenacity was an attempt to unload one of his stories onto the world: a story with depth, intrigue, and complexity, one he’s hoping people will get lost in.

A Note from the Author
My dream is that you, the reader, made it this far, and hopefully with a sense of satisfaction… perhaps even wanting more. Either way, it means everything to me.
To be a full-time author is an uphill battle that is akin to that of the Sins, save for all of the killing and stuff. And to have such a dream realized starts with you. Therefore, I humbly ask… no. I desperately beg that you leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads upon completing the first part of this journey. Please, don’t disregard this, or think your contribution too small to matter, because it’s not. Doing this one small deed is actually the most profound way to help an author gain some recognition in their voyage into the ever-so-vast world of storytelling. Amongst a sea of corporate battleships, best-selling submarines, and wide spanning talent seeking lighthouses, equip this independent author with another oar for his canoe… because with it, he will never stop rowing.
Phew… okay. Now, enough about my dreams. Reader, thank you again for spending some of your most precious commodity – time – on the Unearthed Saga. If you’re interested in providing me feedback directly, or would just like to chat regarding your thoughts on the Unearthed universe, character arcs, story direction, or whatever, feel free to reach out to me on my website below. I would be happy to chat anytime.
Until we meet again. Stay awesome.
