I read the sequels to ‘name your price’ and I thought, a fork of the same story line from a different perspective would be fun. So, I did. :)

Not sure about the switch to present tense, but I like the parallel to Boah wearing the ring meaning something for the pale man, now named Jonas. It certainly does a nice job of explaining his confidence in getting it back.

THX0477, I see what you mean about the shift from past-tense to present-tense. It was rather jarring, so I corrected it. Thanks!
