Life in the Kismet Waters with the coven is all Mekare has ever known. Raised like an animal for the slaughter by her trio of enigmatic caretakers, she knows little of magic and even less of the world beyond the edges of the swamp. What she does know is that the nameless witches need her blood for their spells and that, somehow, her magic ebbs and flows with the phases of the twin moons overhead. As the coven's plans for her finally come to a head, in a moment of desperation, Mekare must make a decision: resign herself to a miserable death, or strike a bargain for her life and her magic with an entity that promises its power - and its love - will enfold and uplift her. But nothing is free, and magic always comes with a price. Updates every Friday.

Being the daughter of the most powerful people in a prosperous country has given Octavia numerous responsibilities, burdens, and a target on her back. This target has been constantly aimed at since she was a child and is aimed at again when Octavia, along with others, is abducted by members of the Chrome Rebellion - the most notorious rebel group in the nation's history. Heading the operation is the unstable, unpredictable, loony leader of the rebellion: Shard. And Octavia becomes his personal prisoner. For the second time, Octavia's life is turned upside down. She must survive the dangers of being a hostage. Dangers range from dodging actual bullets to enduring mental manipulation. She cannot even find solace in being returned home with a ransom payment like the other hostages because Shard keeps her ransom a secret from those trying to get the hostages back. Most of Shard's own Chromies don't know what her price is, either. Few understand and know how this secret ransom works. But, when Octavia finds out, her life goes from being turned upside down to being completely shattered. ~Science Fiction ~Dystopian ~Thriller ~New Adult **Suggested audience of 15+ for gun violence, other forms of violence, and mild language. **Cover created by @WillaWindrow **This story will soon be appearing on Royal Road! Hope to see you there ^.^ -------------------- Thank you so much for checking out Shards. This was originally a short story, but ever since I finished it, I thought about expanding on it, and now I am. I plan on making this my first not-short story. Don't be afraid to leave a comment and/or a vote. I'd love to hear from you! I hope you enjoy \^.^/ Updates to Shard may be a bit wonky especially when the semester is in because classes gotta come first (as much as I wish they didn't), and I'm still in the writing process for Shards. But it will be my goal/hope to update once a week.
