THE ANCIENT BLOOM CHRONICALS "You accept a job at a quiet mountain tavern." I pause as I shove another delicious bite of honeyed biscuit between my lips, swallowing quickly before continuing. "Behind the Tavern is a garden full of statues, and get this, the owner sacrifices people to a monstrous ancient flower!" The clink of my glass being set back onto the glass table is the only sound in the room besides the faint hum of music floating in from the streets below. Ignoring the look on their face, I debate on if it will appear rude if I reach for another. *** Penny never expected adventure to find her at the bottom of a glass behind a New Orleans bar. When a mysterious traveler offers Penny and ger best friend Roxie work at a secluded tavern in the Appalachian Mountains, it seems like the perfect escape from a life that has quietly fallen apart. But the quiet mountain town of Briar Ridge hides secrets older than its forest. Strange gardens, stranger life-like statues, and even stranger symbols appearing everywhere. How is one person supposed to look away. When betrayal pulls Penny and her friends into a hidden realm beyond the fountain, they discover a truth beyond myth: pixies are real - and they are becoming them. But magic demands a price. Survive the trials of an ancient flower, uncover the secrets of a living island, and stop the power-hungry pixie who sacrificed everything for control. Do you take the hand?

Xer'Tal the Bloodthirsty had spent years as a warrior and now works as personal guard. With a world at war, his skills are in high demand however being an orc meant he was jaded to the world. People treated him poorly, gave him no trust, and he didn't trust a single person, even those who paid him. So he wasn't expecting someone like Tansy Wilde. Tansy Wilde was sent out from her family's lumberyard to head to the Kelpfar mountains to negotiate with the kobolds for a trade agreement when a bandit waylaid her plans. She escaped and fled to the nearest town where she asked after someone she could hire to protect her and she was sent straight to Xer'tal. Tansy knew orcs, she saw them occasionally at the lumberyard but there was something about this orc that has her breath catching in her chest. She paid him coin and asked him if he could escort her to Kelpfar and then back to her family's lumberyard. The coin was more than good so he agreed. The two start off but the stoic and cynical Xer'tal has no clue what to do with the bubbly and sweet Tansy as they make their way into the wilds. He finds the lines between job and employer he has always held firm waver under the sunshine of one singular, talkative woman as, for the first time in a long time, he is treated like a person that matters and not just as an orc. And Tansy finds her heart opening up more and more as the orc lets her truly be herself for the first time in years. Worlds and cultures collide as these two grow closer and only time will tell if love will bloom as they traverse the wilds between them.
