*Updated Weekly* -First Draft- When alchemy is outlawed from the kingdom, those who practice the art are hunted down in an effort to end their corrupt bloodline, forcing many into hiding. When thirteen year old Tharon learns the truth about his dead mother, and his hometown is destroyed by knights looking for her, he and his cousin Thalia are forced to grow up fast, as they travel the land in search of answers. Furthermore, under the reign of a 'dragon sick' king, the lands are once again in turmoil over ever his ever increasing tithes and taxes. ________ Please vote if you like, and leave comments on what you think!

'Summer Nights And Open Skies' is my first ever poetry collection, it consists of poems written from 2015. These poems are neither themed or organised according to themes. As all my poems are a reflection of my life and experiences of others, they are as raw as life itself, sometimes messy, sometimes perfect but always colourful. Shout out to my amazing and super talented Bffs for this cover. The picture was clicked by @theminimalistspring feel free to check out her photography page on Instagram.
