Hello, my fellow card junkies! I wanted to check in with everyone and let you know where things stand. I've been hard at work editing book 1, and I'm blown away by both the amount and quality of constructive feedback I've received from comments on here, on Patreon, and from our Discord community. I've been taking it all to heart and am making the edited version of the book the best it can possibly be.

  That process is a heavier lift than I expected, is the thing, and that fact together with some nasty bouts of illness and a heavy grad school load have led me to realize that I'm not ready to jump into book 3 yet. I'm therefore pushing my return date to May. I hate to do it, and I'm sure you hate to hear it, but this feels like a realistic date at which I can have the beginning of book 3 in good order and ready to share with you. If you're one of my Patreons, please know that billing will remain paused until then.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  To tide everyone over until I return, I'm planning to share the edited version of book 1 here in chunks of about 10 chapters at a time as I work through the editing. Keep an eye out; the first chunk should hit fairly soon. I hope you'll be pleased with how it's turning out.

  Thank you so much for your patience and for your eyeballs on my story. You're the best.
