Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts".

A Princess of Mars is a classic science fiction novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1912. It tells the captivating story of John Carter, an ex confederate veteran from Earth, who is mysteriously transported to Mars, where he becomes embroiled in the planet's epic struggles for power, survival, and love. The novel introduces readers to the fascinating Martian civilizations, including the red-skinned Tharks and the noble Barsoomian city-states, setting the stage for an adventure brimming with action, political intrigue, and romance. In this version, I have carefully rewritten Burroughs' work with the utmost care and respect for the original text. While staying true to the themes and essence of Burroughs' vision, I have worked to modernize the language, refine character development, and ensure the pacing aligns with contemporary sensibilities. My intention is to make the story more accessible to modern readers while preserving the spirit of adventure and wonder that made the original so beloved. I genuinely hope you find joy in this retelling, whether you are experiencing the tale for the first time or revisiting a beloved classic. As always, I welcome and appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism, as it helps me continue to refine my work. Your thoughts and reflections are invaluable to me as I continue to pay homage to this timeless masterpiece.
