Book 4 Epilogue – False Dawn

Syndicate Wars False DawnUNEDITEDHello, all. We thought it would be fun to have an epilogue to book 4 and are sharing it with you exclusively here 🙂  A little bonus for being on my site.

Downside? It’s unedited right now. So if you’d like to take a look and find errors, please send them my way. I’ll have it edited when my editor is doing with this other book of mine she’s finishing up. THANKS!
