The King's Five Hearts

thank you for reading this book

To all those who have embarked on the journey through the pages of this book,

Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to explore the world of Veridoria, to get to know its characters, to witness their triumphs and struggles, and to become a part of their lives, if only for a moment.

Creating this story has been a labor of love, a journey of imagination and creativity that has been immensely rewarding. But it would not have been possible without you, the readers, who have embraced this world and its characters with such warmth and enthusiasm.

Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your feedback. Thank you for allowing this story to come alive in your minds and hearts, for seeing the beauty in its pages, and for sharing in the emotions and experiences of its characters.

As an author, there is no greater joy than knowing that your words have touched someone else's life, that your story has resonated with them in some way. It is a privilege to be able to create worlds and characters, to weave tales that entertain, inspire, and provoke thought.

I hope that this story has brought you joy and comfort, that it has sparked your imagination and touched your heart. May it stay with you long after you have turned the final page, a reminder of the power of storytelling and the magic of a well-told tale.

Thank you, once again, for joining me on this adventure. Your readership is a gift, and I am grateful for each and every one of you.

With heartfelt thanks,
