*Now published as a full ebook and paperback novel. Buy now on www.authoranhorton.com* How far would you go to keep a promise? When twelve-year-old Oliver Ainsworth promised his life to Avery Hastings, she never believed him. After years apart, through war and tragedy, it seems even more likely that he's forgotten her entirely. And she's moved on as well. Haunted by their parents' gruesome murder and the overbearing debt they'd left behind, Avery and her sister both sell themselves into different trades to make their livings, to pay back the murderer before he comes for them too. As for Oliver? The war came for him just like it came for every other young boy in their village. Or so Avery thinks. Until her employment with a wealthy family in France forces their two worlds to collide once more and she learns there's far more to the boy she knew than she could have ever imagined. Bound by a contract neither of them ever signed, they must come together again after years apart, after being worlds away, after becoming different people. A contract which states that they are overdue for their own wedding. But, after a lengthy engagement, when Oliver gives Avery the chance to opt out... will she even want to?

Eden's Gate Orphanage and School was established over 100 years ago as a place for psychic children to safely learn and understand their powers in a world that often cannot or will not help them. Indeed, the world is a dangerous place for people who can't control their powers and will fear them for it. Kaitlyn Edenchild and her friends have largely been there since before they remember, and have grown up at the school and are some of its star students. But strange things are happening. When one of her friends disappears, the children have to find out who is behind it, and why, before something truly and utterly terrifying comes... if it isn't already here.

"Wow, you're real observant aren't you. I could ask you the same thing. Do you like stalking other people, or is it just a hobby of yours? Who even are you anyway?" My voice was tight with strain and frustration. He needed to go away. It was getting more and more difficult to keep that crackling heat from exploding and swallowing me whole. It had been months since the last time I had lost control. I wouldn't lose control. I wouldn't. I just needed to focus and ignore the idiot who had been babbling the entire time I had been thinking. My fists clenched and opened repeatedly, as I blew out a breath. He stopped walking and formally bowed- freaking bowed- to me like a proper orderly and spoke in some posh accent, "The name's Kid Flash, my lady. And whom may I have the absolute pleasure of accompanying this evening?" I looked at him oddly, still clenching my fists, and wondering how much medication he had missed this morning. What the Hell kind of name is Kid Flash? I shook my head and continued to walk. Focus. "I'm a person who you do not want to mess with, you lunatic. Do yourself a favor: go get checked into a mental hospital and leave me alone." I mumbled through clenched teeth, walking faster than before. Yet, he still followed me. --- Dropping out of middle school to become a part-time felon was definitely not on Madison's bucket list. Finding a girl with powers just like his was never on Kid Flashes' mind. Yet, here they are- arguing down the street at 1 o'clock in the morning, without a clue as to just how much trouble they're about to get into. *I do not own any TeenTitan characters. This is merely a fanfiction that was born after watching a solid 12 hours of Teen Titans one night. Not your typical love story!*

Two girls. Two dragons. One war. The two nations of Ledah and Dreg have lived in relative harmony for centuries. However, this all ended a little over five years ago with a dispute involving a slain dragon and a stolen egg. A war was sparked by the conflict, bathing the once-peaceful land in blood and tears. For many years this war has raged, and lakes of blood, both human and dragon, have been spilled. The end is obscured in the cries of the dead, and a thick mist of disharmony and mistrust blocks all resolutions. Only a true union, forged on trust and caring, could return peace to this land. Aneira, lead captain of Ledah, strives to make her nation proud. Devyn, lead captain of Dreg, strives to keep her position and life. When Aneira is captured by the Dregian captain, she finds herself forced to travel on a dangerous quest with Devyn-one that both are reluctant to depart on. Their mission: to find and retrieve the magical weapon that may just put an end to this war. That's assuming something won't come between them first. _____ If you're a fan of dragons, queer characters, sword-fighting, and enemies-to-lovers romance, this is 100% the book for you!

"Ferbus walked faster, undeterred, until a door swung open to our left, blocking our path, and a beautiful girl emerged with a maid in tow. She was dressed elegantly in a long cream dress.

a look into my writing world...God knows how much I miss this! "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ― Marianne Williamson
