Buenos Aires resume el universo Buenos Aires encapsulates the universe Baldomero Fernandez Moreno My feet were weary when I first met Diego Maldonado Hernandez at a shabby bar in the southern outskirts of Buenos Aires. It was a warm evening, the local porteños lounging at street corners. The faint sound of a milango drifted down the dusty lane of beaten,...
Behem. Shit. The castle rose over trees which covered a steep hill, overlooking the forests and the fields which fed it, and the town which it protected. It could be seen from many miles off, a high point in the flat valley of River Lene, topped with the royal standards of Harmen, announcing the sovereignty of the King over this land. The province of the...
They say you should choose your friends wisely. For Stephanie Woods, meeting Krystel Arroyo on the Local Friend Finder app would provide important reinforcement to that concept.

Bitten ————————Prologue———————— Averill left the tavern and slung her pack over her shoulder as she walked toward the livery a few streets away where she had quartered her horse.

While Isabelle hurried into the nursery to feed and change her Alasdair went to have a quick shower so he could switch off with her after breakfast. Haelan eased himself from the bed.
