Silent Hero: All Good Things Must Come to an End

Well, I've decided to remove Silent Hero from Smashwords for now. the book has already received more hype than I would have expected, and many fans seem upset that:

1. Someone would have the nerve to "officially" publish a Zelda fanfic

2. Someone would have the nerve to do this without really editing the work

That said, some think it's great while others think it's blah. But that's beside the point. I'm removing for these two reasons:

1. Don't want to get myself in trouble if there's too much negative hype

2. Being a regular, fanfic work, it really is unedited; I don't want readers thinking that's the quality of all my other, original, and very-much-edited books.

I may choose to re-release it once I've had time to sit down and edit. Or, I may not. For now though, you can still read it on sites like fanfiction, North Castle, webook, and evolitera; just don't expect to see it on Barnes & Noble again real soon, but...

Maybe someday. It was a nice challenge and experiment, at the least. And it DOES have that nifty new cover. ^_^

Blurb:
Zale. Gauthier. Varden. These three dynasties…They all sound like something out of an ancient, oriental myth or fairy tale. The concept of humans and dragons helping and living in harmony with one another, without fear. To me, that’s exactly what they are. A distant dream only read of, whispered secretly, quietly yearned for. For, you see, I am the new Quelda of Tynan.
These words echo the mystery, horror, and romance found within Schulze's fantasy novel. Along with her new husband, Chalom, Crislin must choose to embrace cruel tradition, run from it, or stand against it. The young couple's only hope is to rally the help of the three peaceful dragon dynasties of Sulaimon—but tradition is not on their side, even outside the realm of Tynan. The dragons outside Tynan's borders have been rumored as too stubborn and proud to believe their Tynanian brothers would commit such horrors as inflicted upon the Quelda. Gaining their aid is not a likely hope. Yet, any hope at all is valued in Tynan...
If they are to stand a chance of bringing cruel tradition to a permanent end, Crislin and Chalom must brave the constant, consuming blizzards of the Ever-white. They must brave the three dynasties and the challenges awaiting there. Together, they must convince the dragon emperors to allow them access to the shrines which house the sacred Aria - protective strands of music which may be able to disperse the evil from Tynan and unite the four dynasties of Sulaimon as a whole once again. Their only aid stems from a sprite whose moods are as unstable as her magic, a young minstrel, and a mysterious fox. Despite the odds, such plans are daring, dangerous, unprecedented, but fully possible - if they can escape the Wall first.
