From Zachery to Ares...


I've started a major edit. This has included a new beginning to Chapter One, and a huge number of minor chages for grammar, spelling or style.
The biggest change is that Zachery Foscolos is gradually becoming Ares Kokinos. I never really liked the original name and have increasingly been thinking that he had to go! I've still gone for a greek name but looked for something more punchy and also meaningful. Ares is the Greek name for Mars and Kokinos means 'red'. I think it's an improvement....
So far I've changed the Prologue and Chapter One, but Zachery is still lurking in later chapters. It might take a while to remove him completely, so many apologies to readers...
