Final Fantasy 8 Novel

Year Of Fire

Written by Spiritblade and Wesley T.

Disclaimer: Final Fantasy 8 does not belong to me, period. Nor does the dozen of crossovers I have put into place to make this story click. This story is influenced heavily by the games Legend of Dragoon and Baldur's Gate as well as Warhammer 40K. This work is as of yet, incomplete, and I am posting this to ensure that I do not lose the story the next time my PC crashes. I will do a better cover page as soon as possible.

This work, done over half a decade ago, before the Angel Halo Project was launched, was my chief key project. Thank you, Wesley T., for being there. We will finish this story. But first we will finish the Angel Halo project.
