Can it be?

I'm pretty sure I just wrote the last sentence for Book 1.

That doesn't mean it's done by any stretch, since there's still tons of editing to do and I left a few sections with notes to myself to go back and flesh out descriptions later, but overall... this feels really good.

Word count right now is around 83500. That'll grow by another couple thousand with editing and some more descriptions here and there.

I always intended this book to be an introduction to the series - it's very action packed, throws you right into the middle of the action with the main protagonists, and doesn't slow down. In fact, the entire book takes place over just roughly 21 days. The next book, which is already completely fleshed out in my head, covers a much longer period of time and will probably be significantly longer. I planted so many seeds in the first book that need to germinate and grow in subsequent books.

But for tonight, celebration!
