A Murder in Hearthlight - Story 1/2
A travelling caravan stops in a small town known as Hearthlight. It's a well established checkpoint along trade routes with a modest population.
Hearthlight has been at peace for the past hundred years the locals have been known to do their chores in the pale moonlight. Children have been allowed to play at all hours of the day and even through the night. Well, that is until recently...
Some say they have heard howling at dusk... and well - during the last full moon, a body was found near the creek. The poor girl was found mangled. It looked as if large claws had torn into her flesh and teeth had pierced her to the bone! A horrifying sight, to be sure!

The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
