Before the conflict escalates...
You’ve just met Deor on the edge of danger, at a moment where the occupation shows its teeth and the story begins to move.
​
But that moment didn’t come from nowhere.
Ten years earlier, something happened that taught Deor what the Meropan occupation truly was. That moment shaped the person she becomes.
Deor's Genesis...
The Courthouse is a short prequel story which takes place a decade before The Eternal Tide.
It tells the story of the event that first opened Deor’s eyes to the brutality of the occupation, and why she carries a quiet, unyielding resistance long before the main conflict ignites.
​
Readers often choose to start here if they want to understand Deor more deeply before the war escalates around her.

Where this story leads...
The prequel feeds directly into The Eternal Tide.
​
The opening scene you’ve just read is where the conflict truly ignites — where personal survival begins to collide with something much larger.
​
Whether you choose to continue the main story now or first step back into Deor’s past, you’re entering the same world, one where freedom has been lost, and reclaiming it will demand a terrible cost.
