Q: What inspired such a unique idea?

A: I have a full fantasy novel stomping around my brain. It has been there for many years now and revolves around a magic brass ring. Working title “The Cursed Ring of Moira”. One day I wondered what would happen if the ring survived from the 13th century and turned up in the present. What wish might it drag along with it?
