************************************************************************************** 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.

"Oppi I can't do this! I lost you once! I lost both my sparkmate and my siblings! I can't continue this war for you" , I say desperately clinging to him so that he can't leave. Optimus tries to gently pull me off of him but once I tighten my grip he sighs and says- "My spark, I know this is a lot to ask of you but I need your help. You are the one I trust the most to continue the small amount of peace we have established." Desperately clinging onto him I practically wail- "The peace won't last Optimus! You know just as well as I do that the humans will hunt us all down! I need you here! I need my leader, my Sire here!" A pained look appears in his optics, and for just a second I feel hope that he will stay. "Sweet Spark you know as well as I that if I stay we are endangering more human lives. If this happens we will be hated even more. Besides, no matter how much you say you hate humans, you can never forget that you yourself were once human. And I know you will not sit by and watch your planet's destruction happen if you can do something about it." My spark breaks a little more as I realize he's right. While some humans are nothing more than monsters, there are some like Sam and Michaela or the Yeagers. Besides, I love this planet so much. It's the only home I've ever known. Optimus pulls closer to me and holds my face up as Energon tears leak from my optics. He smiles at me before gently kissing away my tears. My spark hums in appreciation and sorrow at his affection and having to once again be separated from my father. This is my story. My birth name is Birdie Blu, named after my WWII hero grandma, and this is my story. The story of how a simple 16-year-old girl turned into a war-ridden woman. I can guarantee you this, read AKI JABAROSA'S book and you will watch as I become... Caged No More

Who knows what requests will show up in my inbox. :) Currently closed for requests, hence "COMPLETED". Will be back on working for more one-shots soon. ---------- ACHIEVEMENTS # 1 in goyo (1 October 2018) # 1 in gregoriodelpilar (1 October 2018) # 1 in heneralluna (1 October 2018) # 1 in johnarcilla (1 October 2018) # 1 in eduardorusca (4 October 2018) # 1 in emilioaguinaldo (4 October 2018) # 1 in pauloavelino (4 October 2018) # 1 in jovenhernando (4 October 2018) # 1 in vicenteenriquez (4 October 2018) # 1 in philippinehistory (6 October 2018) # 5 in bayaniserye (11 November 2018) # 17 in philippines (21 October 2018) # 278 in oneshotcollection (20 December 2018) # 489 in historicalfiction (28 October 201)

Welcome to this book! This is about Optimus Prime! More explained in A/N + Requests. I hope you'll enjoy this one-shot book! I'll do: Bayverse RID2015 Prime Merformers Dragonformers ROTB (maybe more in the future :) I don't accept: Male reader's requests (I do support LBTQ! Please don't see me as a bad person!). Yandere requests. Baby reader requests (but if you request for a cute sparkling Optimus and baby reader then I do :). Note: all arts go to their owners! A warning to everyone: don't ask too many times for the same request or else I will not do it. I'm glad that there are users out there who respect this. I apologize if this sounds rude to anybody but I don't have 100 hands to complete many one-shots. I do not mind seeing the request 2 times, because I can help remind them that they requested it 2 times while they don't realize it, but if I catch the same request the 3rd time, I will give you a warning. If I see it for the 4th time or more, then the request will be canceled, unless your request with a VERY interesting plot will sound interesting to me, then I will do it.

In the midst of the mystical realms and magical traditions of Sunda, Cileuncang invites readers into a world brimming with enigmas, mysteries, and the secrets of the supernatural realms of Nusantara. This story revolves around Rangga and Silvi, two souls bound not only by love but also by a great destiny that stretches between the human world and the spiritual dimension. When Rangga becomes trapped in Brekasan, a supernatural realm inhabited by mystical beings such as the Ipri, Danawa, Ririwa, and Bancala, he faces the dual challenge of survival and maintaining the balance between the human and supernatural dimensions. Meanwhile, Silvi, still in the real world, refuses to stand idly by. Driven by profound love and unwavering determination, she devises a grand plan that will change her life forever. The novel unveils the often-overlooked Sundanese mythology, including the legend of Ambar's child playing in puddles during the rain, the Cileuncang chant capable of unveiling supernatural veils, and the intricate connection between humans and the spiritual realm adorned with traditional teachings and religious values. With its narrative rich in cultural elements, Cileuncang is not only a tale of supernatural adventure but also a profound exploration of the traditions and philosophies of the magical and meaningful Sundanese heritage. Can Rangga and Silvi overcome the treacherous challenges of the spiritual realm and reunite their love separated by different dimensions? Or will they be consumed by the whirlwind of mysteries passed down by their ancestors? Unleash your imagination into a world unlike anything you've ever seen before-Cileuncang is a journey into the mesmerizing mystical treasures of Nusantara... *** This work does not get much appreciation in my country. Hopefully foreign readers will be more to support this story. Thanks ^^v

Have you ever had anything strange happen to you that you couldn't explain? One moment you're normal, the next... Well, it happened to me. On my sixteenth birthday, my life changed forever. I learned that day I was different. I have a gift... And I've been hunted by men intending to capture or kill me just because of what I can do. I'm Telekinetic, a mover they call me. I can move objects with just my thoughts. I can do things that most other people only dream about. Except sometimes a dream can start out exciting, and quickly become a nightmare. My name is Kyle... and this is my story. "The Hunted One " is part one of the series. Part two is called "Caitlin's Way". And part three, " Destiny " is also completed. I've also finished writing "The Presence." It's a ghost story with my kind of twist and takes place at the same time as my first two stories and If you're a Hunted One reader, you may find the ending interesting... I also have a story called "Return of the Black Eyed Children " It's based on the legend. (Look it up on Google) My latest is called "Vengeful Spirits." I'm sure the tittle describes what it's about... Please consider all my stories as a first draft. I'll be editing/polishing as time allows. Highest ranking for "The Hunted One" #45 in Paranormal on 09/29/17 And as always silent readers are always welcome. Votes and Comments are always much appreciated! Follow @WPutman68 to keep up on my latest posts. Thanks to everyone for their support and taking some time out of your busy day to spend it in my world...
