Highfantasty Histoires

Here's a big compilation of all my short stories! From when I don't feel like writing my original works.

All his life, Conn has trained to be a wizard for the Royal Court. Just months after graduating from the scholar-house, Conn has been granted a post on the King's own scientific staff, unheard of for one so young. And Conn's wife is pregnant with their first child. Conn's future is bright. But the night before his meeting with the King, Conn's wife has a dream. She dreams the King has tasked Conn with an evil task. Just the nerves of pregnancy, Conn tells himself. But when he at last meets with the aging monarch, Conn discovers his wife's dream told the truth. Will he do the horrible thing the King asks? Or stand alone against all the forces in his kingdom?

Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED.
