The Dawning: Chapter 1 Excerpt
Nyx Ashwood screamed as she and her animus, Ember, were thrown through the air. Nyx clung onto Ember’s back as they shot through the heavy canopy of trees. Branches and leaves whacked into them as they fell. Ember turned and regained his balance and darted out of the trees.
One of the Dragon Guards’ beasts had chased after them when they were on their way out the old city.

Except from Elfhame Academy Book 2
“We don’t want killers on our island,” Smiley — I had never bothered to learn his real name — growled at me and grabbed my arm. He had tanned skin, short black cropped hair and pierced pointed ears.
I shoved him backward and threw a burst of light at his head. It missed him on purpose and he yelped. “Leave. Me. Alone,” I snapped. “Next time I won’t miss.”
“Get her!” Smiley yelled. He and his cronies advanced towards me.

“Are you gonna help?” I called out to Ash.
As my magus, it was his job to help me fight w...

“Yukari Namikoya!” the voice demanded again and I struggled to put a name to the speaker.
