The Keeper: A Short Story Prequel to Forbidden

The setting feels rich and immersive for a short story. I'm curious whether the author had a detailed universe in mind or if it developed during writing.

The story's messages resonated deeply, but I wondered if others noticed how these themes drive the characters' choices and the plot's direction.

Reading this short story gave me insight into the larger narrative. I'm interested in how this prequel was crafted to complement the main book.
