"Alright, fine, whatever," Jerica sighed. Maybe death would be a gift at this point. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her forearms against them, then leaned her ...

Jerica looked at her dubiously. She didn't trust her. Not even a little bit. Was she planning to try to snap her neck the instant her eyes were closed? Because ...

Jerica stared at her for a long, long moment. She'd already forgotten that Eve claimed to be able to read memories. Maybe she was actually telling the truth? It was ...

(nice! night!) "No," Pratik answered, feeling his heart flutter a bit in his stomach even though he kept his face impassive. He'd very nearly gotten snatched by slavers three separate ...

Jerica nodded slowly. She didn't understand, either. But, at least the powers made sense in this context. She didn't doubt at all that it was a strong sorcerer, and she'd ...
