    About this ebook

    Thorn Valley is a desolate place – or perhaps more accurately described, a dead place. A place where no plant, no animal, no anything could last for more than a few hours – maybe a day.

    A desperate short by author Heath L. Buckmaster takes us to a valley full of sadness and despair, where adventurers seek fame and fortune but find only folly and fate.

    Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be. – Heath Buckmaster
