Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give you all a quick update. I'm in the process of rewriting the story, specifically the first 11 chapters. While the overall plot is staying the same—Alec still discovers the fragment through his investigation and gets mentored by Caius—I'm making some big changes to the characters and how the story flows.

This rewrite is still a work in progress, so it'll take a little time to finish, but I'm aiming to make the pacing smoother, the world-building richer, and the character interactions stronger. I hope you'll like the new direction once everything's updated!

If you've already read the earlier chapters, just know that they'll be reworked, so don't be surprised when you see changes. Thanks so much for your patience and support, and feel free to share your thoughts when the new chapters are up!
