SUMMARY: His price is her hand in marriage.
Chapter One: No Princess | Chapter Two: Bride Price | Chapter Three: Ceremony
Chapter Four: Courage | Chapter Five: The Lover's Knot | Chapter Six: A Gift of Gold
A rewrite of my epic WIP, which took some wrong turns and became too daunting for me to fix in-situ. I posted here at Dreamwidth in 2018 when I made the decision to take this approach, explaining what I'm doing to the text and why. The old version is still on AO3 if anyone wants it - I won't delete the comments and the community that built up around it. I've taken steps to make it harder to stumble across without knowing it's there, though.
I was having massive trouble getting AO3 to download the full draft as an e-book/document, after the WIP version passed half a million words. For this and other reasons, I'm breaking ABoT 2.0 into titled, multi-chapter parts and gathering those as a "series" under the title, A Bed of Thorns. Hopefully this'll be easier to navigate, easier to read, and it should be possible to download each segment with a click. I do think of it as one single story, but even in digital form it's a helluva brick!
