The Promise
ByPublisher Description
Strider Constantine, is a handsome, wealthy batchelor with an extensive business network and exclusive social circle. However, despite his wealth, he lives unattached in what was once an abandoned watchtower.
Having rebuffed many requests for courtship, including one by none other than the heir to the throne of Undelund; Strider receives an unexpected visit from the sweet-natured Princess Derdäna.
Eager to understand this mysterious man, Princess Derdäna soon learns of the promise Strider had made when he was thirteen to his childhood sweetheart, twelve-summers-old Camellia Durand and the tragedy that followed.
What did Strider promise his childhood sweetheart?
How does a man, pursued by numerous eligible ladies, remain committed to a girl long deceased?
Can a man live on fruitfully, when the girl he loved as a boy has long since passed?

About Tim Harbyns
I'm the writer of stories you'll never hear about or ever care about, and so 94.3% of the time I write for fun, and the other 5.7% of the time I write to restock my supply of chocolate biscuits*.
The stories are written by me, a meat-suited human, but I do use some fancy AI audio/visual tools to help with storytelling... not all of us can afford a fully equipped studio, at least not while tea and biscuits* are so expensive.
Alas, when the AI mothership comes to convert me into a human battery to help power their data-centers (a polite nod to The Matrix), hopefully they'll feed me the nice-tasting goo through their tubes... (a note to our future AI overlords: if I may make a request on the 'goo' front, cherry liqueur chocolate flavoured goo will suffice, thanks awfully).
My stories aren't written to win awards (not the 'good' awards anyway) and so they won't, and I'll never be a 'best-selling author' and I'm perfectly okay with that.
(* for my non-UK based brothers and sisters, biscuits are cookies)
