Hey everyone, thanks so much for supporting the book so far! I decided not to wait for the 5k follower thing to do the giveaway. A day late lol but better late than never amirite

  I'm gifting 100 free Tier 2 AE subscriptions on Patreon. No strings attached, just make an account and you're good to go! It's first come first serve. I think Patreon automatically tracks it for me.

  Also, it should automatically cancel so you don't have to worry about getting charged or anything (but do double check, just to be sure)

  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

  “Betcha it’s gonna be fire,” Ethan said, mirroring Miles. “Fantasy shit always starts with fire.”

  Miles snorted. “Hell, wouldn’t shock me if they had us crunchin’ numbers on specific heat or some shit.”
