The Huntress ✓
(EDITORS PICK) In the bloody, ruthless, and decidedly uncouth world of 17th century pirates, can a woman deceive even those closest to her and survive? Bronte is forced to make some tough decisions about her life and livelihood at far too tender an age in a time and place when options for women are few. Port Royal, Jamaica, in the 17th century is only a good place to be if you're a pirate. And so, a pirate she is. A pirate's life is precarious enough without the added burden of hiding one's sex. But, if she is to survive, hide it she must. Lucien's father wishes him to take over the family merchant business but Lucien feels God has a different path; he longs to use his medical knowledge to help the less fortunate in the Caribbean. Just as he is about to embark on his God-given task, a certain pirate spoils his plans. Is he wrong about the path God has for him? Lucien is forced to work for his father and delay his plans until he can hunt down the pirate who thwarted him. He is sure he's a match for anything the pirates dish out but soon realizes he's gotten more than he bargained for and it just may cost him his life... ⭐️ Featured in Editors Pick 9/2020 Cover by @AzanthielComplete

Not every book has a hero And not every Fairytale has a prince I am a person just like you Not some force that cannot be hurt My heart can be broken And my mind can be shattered I may not be human but I'm sure as hell not normal ====================== "I like to believe we have a purpose in life, something that defines who we are inside and out, we find ourselves through that long and hard trial. People often ask me where I find myself or how I did, if I'm being honest, I don't really find myself anywhere, and I think that's ok".Complete
The Shadows of Erisdar: Whispers of the Past
She has no past. No wolf. No scent. And now-no choice. When a young seemingly alpha wolf is found unconscious at the edge of Boronduin territory, the pack knows something is deeply wrong. Pursued by savage wolves, shifted into wolf form far too early, the girl remembers nothing of who she is or where she came from-only that she's drawn to the silent forest that seals off the rest of Erisdar Valley, where no one dares to go. Years later, Alexandra-now the adopted daughter of the Alpha pair-is the only remaining heir after their son mysteriously vanished near the wall of trees in the feared Erisdar forest. But without a wolf of her own, she is not an elligible heir, to her relief. When a foreign pack arrives with a mate claim designed to seize her hand-and through it, her homeland-Alex senses a deeper plot at play. Her parents, strangely unlike themselves, refuse to listen. Controlled by magic she cannot yet break, they leave her with only one option: remove the key to the enemies plot - herself. But as she makes her desperate bid for freedom, she is intercepted-first by those who would control her, then by something far more dangerous. From the shadows of the ancient forest, a dark legend comes to life: a silent beast cloaked in mystery, known only in whispers and fear. When her friends are struck down trying to protect her, Alex does the unthinkable-she surrenders to the creature to save them. Taken beyond the valley and into unknown lands, Alex finds herself deep in enemy territory where myths breathe, shadows speak, and truths long buried begin to rise. As she uncovers secrets about the forest, the beast who took her, and even herself, something ancient stirs within her-something powerful and long-silenced. But peace cannot last. Her forgotten past is catching up to her-and with it, a destiny that could shape the fate of her beloved valley, her pack, and her new family.Complete

Jeden musí z kola ven (zaklínačská povídka)
Povídka se pokouší napodobit náměty Sapkowskeho sbírky Poslední přání, přičemž nezapomíná ani na herní mechaniky Divokého honu. Inspiruje se pohádkou O dvanácti měsíčkách, přetváří ji a umísťuje do nelítostného Zaklínačského světa. Tomu se říká: Z bláta do louže. Sotva se Geralt jedné žádostivé čarodějky zbavil, osud mu do cesty posměšně přivál další. Okouzlující Triss Ranuncul ovšem kromě jeho společnosti ocení i zručnost s mečem... Černý les totiž nevydá své poklady lacino a na dřevorubce - těžící takzvané angrenské zlato, po němž král Foltest mimořádně pase - posílá nejrůznější stvůry. Přinejmenším to tvrdí velitel tamní posádky, kterému se zaklínačova přítomnost poblíž vyslankyně vůbec nelíbí a využije sebemalichernější záminku, aby se mohl domnělého soka v lásce alespoň na chvíli zbavit.Complete
