Zilphia Turner groaned as she felt her consciousness return. Her head was woozy, light, swimming in and out of lucidity. She waited for her eyes to adjust, but then she realized with a start that she could not see. She attempted to reach out to remove whatever was obstructing her vision, but then she found that she could not move; her body was bound to somet...
Sand gritted against my face and for a time, I did not know who I was, nor where I was, nor why I was.

There was nothing she liked about me or anybody else she ran...

She'd had only a few hours to sleep before discussing strategies with her companions for raising coin to pay off House San. Then she ret...
Chapter Fifty-Nine CERTIOK I was stuck somewhere between boredom and existential terror. Within the shadow of Castle Alkandra, my battlegroup of the disabled and geriatric was shielded from the raining hell of boulders and missiles. The distant cacophony created a droning thunder that echoed off the castle's atrium, which acted as an enormous stone bandst...
Chapter 1 The private company owning the hugely successful Softly monthly magazine, produced in New York and unabashedly aimed primarily at female college graduates, announced the magazine had been sold to a mining billionaire from Western Australia for an undisclosed sum. Indications were that Billy McGuire reputedly had purchased the magazine as his 25t...
