Veiled Hearts of the Rift, Book One of the Stones of Creation Anthology

This tome you hold in your hands was written in collaboration with artificial intelligence. Some may balk at this revelation, but I would challenge you to suspend your preconceived notions for a moment and maybe more. What lies within these pages is the beginnings of an epic tale, for sure, but one that you may find surprisingly layered, thoughtful, and crafted. What started off as a creative exercise grew into what you now hold in your hands, and I hope you will take some time to discover the depths of its work. Veiled Hearts of the Rift was written in a very trying time of my life, as an outlet for a well of creative energy that has been dormant since I took a short story to state as a third-grader. Like many of you, I spent years writing things in school because I had to, and for me this made writing difficult. With the help of ChatGPT I was able to focus less on the writing itself, and more on the creative direction of the story. I have been able to include some interesting additions that I genuinely hope you come to enjoy as much as I enjoyed including them. May this tale bring you joy and fulfillment as you read of Eldric and the Quest of the Heart. -Orion Nightfeather
