Dear Readers,

Before you delve into this world of courage, unity, and sacrifice, allow me to share my sincerest gratitude. Writing this story has been a journey of discovery and growth, and knowing you're here to read it fills me with hope and determination. Your time and support mean the world to me as I take these early steps as a writer.

A Gentle Reminder

As you begin reading, I hope you'll keep these thoughts close to heart:

1. Fear may visit us all, but courage lies in standing for what we believe in despite it.

2. Together, we are stronger; divided, we falter.

3. Freedom isn't just a right—it's a treasure often won through sacrifice.

As someone new to this craft, I humbly ask for your patience and support. Every bit of feedback, every word of encouragement helps me grow. Together, let's make this story reach more hearts.

To those who dare to dream of freedom and to those who fight for it, wherever they may be.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let's turn the page together and see what awaits.
