La Ferté-Macé France, 1384 Fortunately for Jean and Marguerite, the weather had been good the past several days; the roads were dry, and they made decent time. The trip from their home to the castle La Ferté-Macé had only taken a few hours Marguerite had eschewed a carriage and instead road on horseback next to her husband. Jean was melancholy for most of...
* These last three chapters mark the conclusion of the third volume of the series, and work on volume 4 has already begun with chapter 46 done and 47 in the works. The challenge is now to alternate between a steady stream of AML and DLwFG episodes, and write other works in between. * 43 - Insider Attack Susi snarled at the guard kicking her into the cage...
The doorbell rang. Yuliana hummed happily, wiping her hands on a towel, as she walked to her front door. Pulling it open, she was greeted by a smiling, bearded stranger. He remained strange only until he said the words, "Hello Yakov's Mom!" Yuliana was instantly transported back to the millions of times that Danny had come calling for her son. 'Hello Yakov...
9. The Dark Labyrinth Evelyn shivered a little. She found herself standing naked, her staff in hand, on a broken sheet of granite at the apex of a dreary mountain pass. Looking behind, she saw a long, rocky climb she was happy not to have made. Ahead of her lay a large valley swathed in a grey fog. The path at her feet wound down the slope in front of her...
"What a shithole," Troy Wooten bemoaned as the Shield Maiden's engines kicked up dust on the surface of Thruello Three. The planet was barely habitable and those who called the desolate planet home were as harsh and formidable as the arid planet itself. The human first officer of the Furvoid ship never ventured on the surface of any planet unarmed, but even...
Welcome back! For those of you reading The Runesmith Chronicles for the first time I recommend going back and starting with the first book The Runesmith Chronicles (it's actually Oni and the Farmer but it's too late to change it here :P). Mostly so you have a better understanding of how things like the magic system works and what's going on as I often refer...
The Fortune woods were not a place to find yourself stranded, I mean, there is a reason people don't normally go wondering up here. There has always been rumours of Other things lingering here from times long passed and the woods have never been an inviting place. Wood is a bit of an understatement, forest would be way more accurate but Fortune Forest sounds...
I want to thank Wolf Vixen for continual help in catching all the little things I miss and all her feedback. Most of you will like this story because the under dog finally gets his due without becoming an asshole. So sit back with a cold one and be prepared to be entertained. * I sat in the restaurant and watched the two of them coming towards me. On a s...
I woke to a warm, steady thumping under my ear and the perfect sensation of being surrounded by something equally warm and solid. A pleasant heaviness was spread throughout my limbs and a familiar, musky smell filled my nose. As consciousness filtered in, I realized it was Rafe's heartbeat I was hearing; his arms were still wrapped protectively around me, ou...
"Books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No force can abolish memory." -Franklin Roosevelt *** It started with a play. If I had never heard of the play then none of this would have happened, and no one would have been hurt, and I wouldn't be writing this knowing that it's probably the last thing I'll ever do. But now it's much to...
