Thank You
Thank you very much for reading The Taellaneth. I hope that you have enjoyed following Arrow’s story as much as I have enjoyed telling it.
It would be great, if you have five minutes, if you could leave an honest review at the store you got it from. Reviews are really helpful for other readers to decide whether the book is for them, and also help me get visibility for my books - thank you.
Although The Taellaneth, and Arrow’s story, is complete, I’m still telling stories. If you haven’t found it already, may I suggest the first book of The Hundred, THE GATHERING, which is available to on Amazon. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SBQXYZT
