Chapter 15 Present day... "It looks like you were right," Fiodor said. The burly driver brought his team of draft horses to a halt, then signaled to the other wagon behind him. "How did you know? The sky was completely clear four hours ago, and I didn't see any signals from the towers." Sarette shrugged. The snowfall had been growing steadily heavier for...
June nudged Yellena, "Come on! Just go! You know we could win that money if you just join the damn contest!" Yellana looked around the establishment. It was a relatively full house, Cha-Cha's Chance Room was a pretty booming spot for night life on weekends. It was a club that hosted events a few times a month, so very often customers got more than just exce...
Chapter 19 "No, not that way," Gregor said as Sarette prepared to follow the villagers' tracks between two tall boulders. While it had been snowing steadily for the past day, the trail the refugees had broken into the snow was deep enough that it hadn't filled in yet.

Chapter 7 Someone crashed into Katrin from behind, knocking her against the wooden corner post of a fishmonger's stall. "Hey!" she exclaimed, but the man didn't stop. He stumbled forward, looking back over his shoulder, his eyes searching the crowd. It was Dallo, she realized with a sudden burst of recognition. Sarette helped her steady herself. "Are you...
Chapter 6 - Marcela and The village of harmony Every day that week consisted of intense sword training and close combat sequences. Rose didn't understand why they were training so hard seeing that Lord Etienne had no plans for her to continue working with the human chiefs. But those moments of contact had driven both of them so wild with need afterwards...
Chapter 21 Shavala and Katrin rode Socks and Flower to the elven quarter, since Katrin had suggested it was too far away to walk. After two hours, Katrin finally said, "We're getting close. I think." Shavala glanced back at the way they'd come, confused. She didn't know her way around the city, but she had a good sense of direction, and it felt like they'...
