The story is told in novella length episodes with cliffhangers, and is free through Kindle Unlimited. If you aren't getting it that way, I've priced each part low enough that by the time you have purchased all parts, you'll only have paid the price of one book (99 cents for each part). I know that this format isn't for everyone, but I love serials and find they keep things exciting for me as a writer. I hope you enjoy if you decide to still read it.
