22. [Cortland] Lessons Learned
Meanwhile, as King Mudt hunted spies and raged at Captain Sulk’s defection, so did Mudt’s counterpart within Infinzel suffer a betrayal of his own.Celebration rang out through the hallways of the pyramidal city. The citizens assumed that the end of Orvesian bombardment meant victory at last. King Hectore did not have the heart to tell them that the battlefield had merely shifted and that their army had been whittled from thousands to four. Infinzel would still need to overcome the fearsome King Mudt.King Hectore dwelled on the helplessness ...

Chapter 18 Repost
Realized that I cut this off from the last PDF I exported, so read this version instead. Going to start getting used to these single Patreon posts and figure out what I can and can't do with formatting. They seem a little hideous tbh.***The outrider who had been assigned to gather King Mudt’s most worthy captains found his first man standing before the walls of Infinzel with his sword belt in the dirt.For the first time since the siege of the pyramidal city had begun a decade ago, the battlefield was peaceful. The scorched ground between ...
Chapters 14-18
Thank you for your early support of Red Wishes Black Ink!Until this Patreon gets a little more traction, I'm just going to periodically update this post with a PDF of the advance chapters. It'll be a minimum of five.I'll start doing single chapter updates once I have some patrons.Chapters 11-16 are attached here as a PDF.
Chapters 1-9
Thank you for being an early supporter of Red Wishes Black Ink! I've uploaded the first nine chapters (about 100 pages/20,000 words) in a PDF. The formatting isn't as fancy as on Royal Road and the final text might change slightly before the public release, but these chapters have all been edited and are close to finalized.Regular updates will begin once this Patreon is a little more lively.If anyone has issues with the file format or has a different preference for delivery, let me know and I can probably accommodate.Enjoy!
Welcome to Red Wishes Black Ink!
The novel is just getting off the ground and so is this Patreon. I'm still figuring things out, so expect more in the future once I've learned the ropes.In the meantime, I don't love the idea of posting a bunch of early updates for an empty room. So, the first block of advance chapters are going to be uploaded in a PDF. I'm sharing the first nine to start with.I'm planning to launch a Discord once I reach 20 subscribers. Remember when Patreon had goals? I liked goals. Oh well!If you're here because you like what you'...
