This book contains the first twelve chapters -- over 60,000 words -- of Bonds of Hate, the first volume in the Dark Tales of Randamor the Recluse series.
It is meant to give the reader a good idea of the story, and a better one than just a sample can give, before embarking upon a long series of books.
Although it doesn't have an ending as such, it contains what you could call a self-contained story arc.
These first twelve chapters are also online as a free read.
