Misoa : A Region Spotlight

First of all apologies for the long silence, I’ve been rather busy lately. I’m currently taking a break editing ‘Reign in Hell: A Gothic Romance’ and revising my other fantasy project set in Gragiyan Empiure universe- ‘A War of Blood, Mountains and Sand’ the prequel novel to ‘Tiriyanin’s Riddles’. ‘A War of Blood, Mountains and Sand’ is an epic fantasy set thirty years before ‘Tiriyanin’s Riddles’
