A Crown of Thorned Fate is an original novel written by me. Every character, scene, line of dialogue, and plot twist began in my imagination and was written, revised, and refined by me.

Like many independent authors, I use tools throughout the editing process. I use AI as an editing and brainstorming assistant—helping me catch repetition, strengthen pacing, identify continuity issues, and ask deeper questions about character motivation and emotional impact. It does not write my manuscript or create my story.

I also use AI-generated concept art for some promotional images. These visuals are meant to give readers a glimpse of how I imagine the characters, atmosphere, and world of the book. They are creative companions to the story—not the source of it.

At the heart of everything is the writing itself.

Every word of A Crown of Thorned Fate came from me, and I’m incredibly proud to share this story with you.
