It was supposed to be the graduation trip of a lifetime: two weeks of rest and relaxation in the Romanian mountains. All Iulia Thomas wanted was to spend time with her family and have fun. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned for her. After a brief chase, Iulia is sent back in time to 16th century Romania. She finds herself under the care of the reclusive and vampiric Mircalla. This mysterious woman is the guardian of the isolated village, and it is her responsibility to ensure that no one get in or out of the border. It has been this way for 150 years, but things are changing. With Mircalla's magic running low and the village in danger, all hope for salvation lies with the bracelet Iulia brought with her. Mircalla has angered a dark organization called The Order, and they will stop at nothing to kill her. Along the way, Iulia learns things about her past that threaten to destroy everything she thought she knew. Family secrets come to life and threaten to consume her. Will she join the fight or succumb to the darkness? ‐------------ Cover made by @ AndressaVan

When Nokkland found himself setting off with the inn's barmaid to track down an ice-dragon, he hadn't realized that he would be thrust into the center of a prophecy he knew nothing about.

"Chrissy! Open the door!" Just as I'm watering my beautiful kumquat and trying to distract myself, the phone beeps, and I growl as I realize that I'm not the only whose day was ruined because of Mr. fungus's annoyingness. Is this your hot boss shouting your name from the street? - Ginko Determined to rip his head for the endless hours of gossip he's just granted my neighbors, I storm out of the kitchen and stand on the single vacant tile of my jungle of a balcony. "What do you want?" I try to keep my voice as low as possible, but the windows opening across the entire street tell me that this is by no means a private conversation. "We need to talk." "You mean that you want to find a new way of sucking the sap out of me, and using me like you always do?" "I'm sorry for what happened, Chrys. I truly am!" he finally concludes, his eyes refusing to let mine go. A wave of Aws passes over the street as the single ladies strategically standing on their balconies swoon at the fit for a rom-com scene. Little do they know is that they just fell for another trick of the master of opportunism. Planning on hissing on him and going back in, I take a deep breath and brush a hand through my tangled hair. Much to my dismay, my elbow knocks one of the many aloe vera pots, and soon enough, it rains plant and flowers on the guy as the audience gasps in terror. 🍂 Human Botany 101 🍂
