Until a magical little beast entered her predictable world, and turned everything upside down... In Service of the Light Lydia, now known as Aurora, rides the lands at the whim of the Circle, a proud servant of the Light. In the course of her duties, she rescues a wandering mage-historian whose beliefs challenge her own and shatter her view of herself, her training, and even her service to the Light itself. Burn Sometimes magical talent springs up fully formed and dangerous. And sometimes, the person with the talent has no idea what to do next... There's A Demon In My Sock I think the title says it all for this one. Just a silly little short story about an event at the Sellingford Academy for the Magical Arts.

Rescue A distant sound heard by a horse leads to the rescue of a lovely young lady, fleeing danger directly into the path of the Ranger Kell Ardantin.

On the Road Again Departure, take two... this time, the Bard will seek adventure with his lover at his side, where he belongs. |
