Witcher, Warrior, Scholar, Spy by Allora Lee
Mirage asked of me, and I gave what I treasured. But did I really gain enough? Kuala’s eyes roamed the stars decorating the sky, and her grip on Wrezgul tightened. Was the Well worth it?
Mr. Elsher by J.H. Sims
“Be careful around here,” she calls out between breaths. “The neighbors don’t take too kindly to outsiders.”
Court of Fiends by Tamsin Hawthorn
“Loss is our destiny.”
Despair wrapped its hand around her throat. “So, life is nothing but suffering. There is nothing to be done.”
“Nonsense.”
She raised her head.
“There is everything to be done. We laugh in fate’s face. We love in spite of it.”
Fractured Alliances by Twyla Menezes
"You’re alive," she said without looking at me.
I couldn’t help it. "Disappointed?"
The Corpse Collectors by Caitlin Regencia
Although the full gory scene was partially hidden in the flickering darkness, Alliera was never more sure of anything in her life that the horror written in this woman’s pain would continue its bloody story in terrible detail the closer a person came to her. Alliera didn’t know if she possessed the bravery to read it.
