** Story is taken on the Forgotten Realms, post Spellplague and some years after the Second Sundering!!**
** Also due to the darker nature of the story and adult content, this is getting a Mature Age rating put on it! it has been something like ten years since I wrote the last Harpers Quest story and both the world and my style have changed **
 I caved so here is another addition to the Harpers Quest Saga written in late 2019 (not quite finished) seeing it seems to be doing the best out of all of my stories here. 
This is taken three years after the last one, The Band have settled into life on Austriardis quite happily and all seems good until the shocking and brutal murder of one of the Teachers at the Chantry (the school for young adventurers) that the Band have gotten involved with.  And along with the Blue Knight inspector, Revered Father Zorastryl Midnite,  the members of the Band get involved in helping them solve the mystery of the murder. I've always liked a good murder mystery so I thought I write one Dungeons and Dragon style!
The picture on the front is my own art, it is of Narache the Dhampir Moon Elf Bladesinger, who takes on a lot of the solving of the crime. He is also known as 'Nightwalker'. 
As usual, this is fanfiction and anything Dungeons and Dragons are the property of the Wizards of the Coast, so I am acknowledging them here. The Band started out as the characters of a campaign I was a part of during the early 1990s, (thats how old these characters are!) I am also not using any particular set of rules here and it is written in Australian English!
Also, there are some Dark Crystal influences later in the story so that is the property of Jim Henson.

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

Okay guys, this is a really old account that I created when I was 13 years old. This book is a really old story of mine but I'm not going to delete it cause, well, it's my first novels (as embarrassing as it is). I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're reading this in 2016+, this is all really, REALLY old haha don't judge me. I do NOT post updated or new stories anymore, please please stop asking, I'm sorry it's just that posting your writing on the web may affect a publisher's decision and starts lots of arguments with copyright and public domain stuff so I'm avoiding all that. Although I don't post I'm still active on this account so feel free to message me with questions and requests and the such. Thank you all for understanding xx - I * Fate is never in your favor. Willow Glasspiers was eating lunch with her best friend, Jasper, when she first sees them; Ganashes who claimed they were from the UnderWorld. These Ganashes-Michael, Alicia, Chelsea and Chris-take her to the Ganash Headquarter of RiverPlain on a quest to find her fate. Machire is part of the Amnesian Government in the UpperWorld. He is a well-known, persuasive man and his job is supposed to be keeping peace amongst the Faery world that his hidden within Earth. But, when he discovers the UnderWorld, his thirst for power grows. And just like any other greedy man would do, he tries to put the UnderWorld under his wing. A legend claims that this will not go well, that instead of ruling the worlds, he will destroy them. It claims that the girl who slays the Incoy Dragon is the Savior, and that her name is Willow. In a rush to speed up the prophecy, Ganashes have been taking Willows and sending them on almost-sure-death missions to kill the monster. Willow Glasspiers is next in line to determine her fate. Is it to slay the Incoy Dragon, or is it to have her corpse piled among the hundreds of Willows who have attempted to kill the monster?

my first finished book. I started writing this, when I was in 8th grade, and I ended writing it at freshman year. Warning: most of the book was written, when I was at school, meaning some stuff wasn't really researched (or was it?). And it may or may not have a lot of mistakes. This fanfic is was posted earlier on ao3 (since ao3 is cheaper, you don't have to buy subscriptions + some stuff to read it). This book doesn't have graphic smut, but it does have violence! (and pure murder). Currently, I'm writing my second book, which is mainly focused on what happened when Janna was stuck on Planet Europa 5893x. It has more murder, violence, royal drama, and maybe some romantic relationships (the only non-toxic ship in the first book were two 11 year old boys). When I was writing this book, I thought: "if tweek and craig were two 10 year olds in a healthy mlm relationship, why can't I do the same thing, but with an skateboarding goth 11 year old and a broke trans 11 year old". warning: janna, nate walker, bad (horrible) parenting, crazy oc-lore, murder and violence, toxic relationships, (surprisingly) healthy relationships, mentions of multiple fandoms (as we read the book, since my oc-lore is literally a cross-over between fandoms + my own thing), 🏳️‍🌈people, swearing, mentions of drugs(idk much about them but my oc's a drug dealer-) + many other stuff I should've mentioned, but didn't mention, because I was too lazy-

12 parts Ongoing Mature

Fanfic, Fantasy, Werewolves, Vampires, Dhampirs etc... Most definitely for readers 18 years and over. Contains very inappropriate and offensive scenes. Not for the faint-hearted or overly sensitive reader. These stories may be triggering to some. All of these stories are based on various Dungeons and Dragons Homebrew campaigns I've been a part of. Any similarity between characters in the stories and any persons in real life is purely coincidental. These stories are completely fictitious. Some of this is imagines but some of it is straight smut, not gonna lie. Enjoy, but please don't copy my work :) P.s. Exactly when I post new content might majorly vary in time because I have complete lack of motivation and like no energy and effort most of the time due to depression, so if you like it and want more please feel free to nudge me or comment or whatever, I don't really know how this works but yeah I can only apologise if I take forever :(
