Before you dive into the world I've crafted within these pages, I want to make it clear that this is a work of fiction. The characters, events, and settings you'll encounter are products of my imagination or have been used in a purely fictitious manner. Any resemblance to real-life individuals, whether living or deceased, is entirely coincidental.
Let us all remember that plagiarism is a crime, a breach of trust, and a disservice to the world of literature. Let us celebrate the diversity of voices and ideas, fostering a culture of creativity and respect for each other's work.
