Dedication
The Heir of Horn and Flame
Book 1
Hannah McDonald
For the guildmates who somehow became family.
For the late-night raids, the absolute chaos, the inside jokes that stopped making sense years ago, and the voices that became part of everyday life. For every expansion survived together, every wipe blamed on lag, every “five more minutes” that turned into sunrise.
Some of your names now live in these pages, forged into soldiers, kings, rogues, mages, monsters, and legends. It only felt right after more than a decade of adventures together.
Thank you for helping build worlds with me long before this one ever existed.
And yes — this book probably contains fewer arguments than our dungeon runs. Probably.
