All stories come to an end, but this one still hasn't...

A run through a forest to get away from everything, a misstep into a ring of daisies, and a fall through an arched tree, and suddenly everything seems inconsequential when compared to a crown offered and a war for a throne. But what happens when you stumble back? What happens when the memories of barely two decades from before you found your family slam back into your mind, when your body honed from battle is reduced back to that of a child on the cusp of adulthood? And what happens when you feel like you cant adjust again?

This book is dedicated to the strange times in life. Sometimes you just need to let the world know of the stories and ideas that haunt your thoughts until you write them down.

Adulthood sucks. No one prepares you for it - at a certain point in life you are simply expected to know what you want to do for a living, find a good partner, get a degree and do your taxes. It is in this time that you also have to go through the most life-changing experiences, grow up, and figure out what makes you trully happy. Everyone must deal with this change during their lives. Yet since it is now my turn to become a functioning, responsible adult, I have decided to whine about it in the best way I know - write a book. I am not adult. Are you?
