This book was so great, I remembered the twist, and I really enjoyed the negotiations and the back and forth!

This story! I knew what was coming (but I didn't know how it was connected to Questing Beast, but Sean was mentioned here! 

*First Read August 17th, 2021*
This was a fantastic story, loved the negotiations and the various tricks used! I would love to see more of these characters!

This is a stand-alone short story. Don't expect too much of it, it's simply lighthearted entertainment.

As far as short stories that were written as a dare go, this one was fantastic. 

I do wish to know what is Nagrad's name.

Much too short! Was a great read and was really enjoying the characters and then it just ended after 3 chapters.
