The Matchstick Assassin [ONC 2020]
Failing her duty as an apprentice Limiren, Valena looks on as the great church bells of Villdesong toll the death of Saint Friar. Killed by an assassins blade. With only a handful of hair and a bruised ego, Valena must work to uncover where the assassin has hidden herself before she and Valena's career disappear completely. But greater events transpire behind the curtain of darkness and only a match sticks flame can suss it out. Valena will have to face what lies just beyond the embers, and take with it the responsibility this knowledge comes with. The Matchstick Assassin was inspired by the Open Novella Contest Prompt #26: Every time she lights a match, she escapes into a new world.Lengkap
Scars of Gold
When Kacia discovers the forbidden magic running through her veins, she is given a choice - pretend her powers belong to her worst enemy, and use them to help him cement his claim to the throne - or forfeit her life. Can she play along for long enough to plot Ash's downfall, or is their fake truce about to turn into something a lot more complicated? ✨ Throughout fifteen years of Lathrian rule, Kacia has dreamt only of her family and her freedom. After she braves a storm-tossed mountainside in search of reunion with a mother she hasn't seen for a decade, she discovers that she has the power to mimic the magic of others - an ability that sees her sentenced to death by the Lathrian Kingdom which controls her people. That is, until the Lathrian king demands she uses her powers to legitimise his stepson's claim to the throne. If she agrees, she can keep her life - for now. Kacia becomes caught between the volatile brothers she didn't know existed and a prince who is more sympathetic than he seems. The choice she makes, between violent rebellion or slow moving negotiations, might alter the fates of her people - but only if she can decide before the bargain that prolonged her life runs out. Family and freedom may be the things Kacia wanted most, but to gain one she might have to sacrifice the other.Lengkap
