Hello everyone! it's been quite a while since I last posted, hasn't it? More than 6 months if I remember correctly. I'm sorry for disappearing off of the face of the earth just like that, especially since I stated previously I would post one chapter every month. Things started picking up and becoming harder in university so my focus shifted to my studies for some time. Then afterwards, I had some other things happen within my family and my attention shifted there so this story was left unattended for some time. But now I am back! I will start posting again (hopefully once every month again but no promises just yet).

University and family stuff was not the only reason why I haven't updated in a while too. I was rewriting the Heart of the Lioness again. I was reading through the posted chapters and subsequent ones that I wrote and I wasn't happy with them. Firstly, the progression wasn't great in my opinion. It seemed too rushed and there wasn't a proper buildup. Secondly, the timeline of the events I wrote was very, very off. So, I decided to make a revised version of the Heart of the Lioness. Don't worry, the story doesn't differ much from the original one. The plot is very much the same but I included more scenes to build on the storyline and development of the characters. I'll be posting the chapters this Friday, right up until the last scene which I posted beforehand.

Please reread all the chapters again and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for waiting and I'll see you again on Friday :)
