Eight writers explore the bonds that shape us through stories of love, loss, and devotion across multiple genres.
Bonds take many forms. Some root us. Some transform us. Some break and rebuild us in ways we never expect. This anthology gathers eight original stories written by creators from the Authortube Writing Conference, each exploring the bonds that define us through fantasy, romance, speculative fiction, and emotional realism.
Experience stories of sisters who face the impossible together, lovers who choose each other across time, characters who confront their shadows, and hearts that learn to bloom again. Whether tender, bold, or heartbreaking, each tale offers a fresh look at the ties that hold us close and the choices that test them. Each story reflects the creativity and craft that define the AWC community.
Perfect for readers who enjoy short fiction filled with emotion, imagination, and character driven storytelling. All proceeds from this anthology support the Authortube Writing Conference (AWC) and its mission to uplift writers around the world.

She builds magic laced, war torn worlds where love is as dangerous as any blade and choosing each other can be the bravest act of all. Her stories pit fierce, complicated relationships against bloodshed, ruthless power, and destinies that do not play fair. Expect sweeping worlds, emotional stakes, and love that refuses to die. There may or may not be dragons, but there is always a hard-fought love story at the heart of the chaos.
