UPDATE! 🌹🎉 I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99 Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy! #Fantasy #Author
A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

Arion definitely Arion. At the start, irresponsible, immature, quick witted but genuinely good. Grows and learns as story goes.

Was very hard to pull off, but I am happy with how it all came together at the end. But ofcourse im biased. You probably would be a better judge than me if you give it a read. 😊

themoundofdead @themoundofdead.bsky.social · 09/10/2025
Story starts in the present time. Once the main plot and characters are introduced, the past timeline begins. Both happen in parallel, but ofcourse the meat of the story is in the past timeline as it has 3 POV characters, so its like if 1 chapter is in present, next 4-6 are in past.

themoundofdead @themoundofdead.bsky.social · 09/10/2025
Thanks! : ) Julia is POV from present timeline. Sam is secondary in Julia's POV. 3 other POVs are from past timeline.

"Practicing" bit of a yap innit #WIPSnips #BringMeADream #WriteSky
So. There I was at my desk, practicing my doodle hearts, when John walked through my door. Only, back then, he was still just “the Sandman” to me. Sure, maybe once or twice I had tested out, “Ay-o! Sandy!” but (other than me) we don’t really do nicknames in the astral building. That doesn’t mean I was any less fond of him; I just called him by his title, as custom goes. I say “other than me” because I do name my cherubs. By the time I had more than three of them, “Hey you” just started to feel rude. But I digress.
