A short fantasy novel I wrote in 30 days as a challenge.
Please excuse the SEVERAL typos and grmmar mistakes, I only pushed forward with this project and wanted to share what I came up with in the alotted time.
Against the Wind tells the true story of the Crowley brothers. A children's tale of three brothers who braved the winter winds to return home to their father's castle of Emmen's Crest. The true story is far worse than the tale itself.

A Storm on the Mountain
"He lived like a dead tree in a graveyard." "A Storm On The Mountain" is nominally about Aanav, a young boy who flees the portrait of a family and finds refuge on a hill where he befriends a shepherd who wears goat-skin-trousers. Still, his chaotic childhood becomes a haunting figure that reflects the silence of his present. Profoundly delicate with arresting imagery, the story narrates a broken heart, who brings these shattered pieces onto a hill and tries to make a very unperfect mended heart. WARNING: LGBTQ (Only in Part II)Complete
Collapse
"I was running from a beast. The branches off the trees cracked thunderously behind me. The wind and branches were whipping frantically against my body as I ran through the sparse forest, desperately avoiding overgrown roots and fallen trees. My lungs burned as the shadows crept up behind me, begging me to slow down, but I didn't dare. I ducked my head under a branch only for it to land directly next to my path within seconds. I could practically feel the beast's breath on my back, I used my last bit of strength to sprint. I nearly tripped on a branch before diving and rolling, scrambling to my feet. It was no use." Silver has suffered greatly, but their best friend, Onyx, has always been by their side. When a new face comes to town, how will it change them? What if their relationship could be more than friends? What secrets do their pasts and this new stranger hold? *TITLE AND COVER (currently from Pinterest, pretty sure someone made it with ai) WIP!!**Complete
