Don't forget to enter the book/Amazon gift card giveaway below as well...  Excerpt: (PAIGE) THE PLAYERS: Paige-The Heartbroken Heroine, Eric-Paige’s Older Brother, Amy-Paige’s Best Friend, Jason-Paige’s Ex-boyfriend Eric studied me before throwing his hands in the air. “You’ve wasted your entire break, Paige. Books, work, and the occasional TV show are not a vacation. I’ve been patient because I know how hard the breakup was, but it’s time for reality. And reality means getting dressed and coming to the carnival with us.” I shrieked. “I can’t go to the carnival. What if I run into Jason? I’ve spent the whole summer avoiding him. I won’t blow it on the very last night.” “What happens when you see him at school?” Eric asked. I narrowed my eyes, frustrated because he was right. We lived in a small northern Texas town—less than four thousand people—and we only had two schools. The elementary school housed kindergarten through sixth grade, and the secondary school had seventh through twelfth. The middle and high school were in separate parts of the building, but for the most part everyone knew everyone and there was no way to avoid anybody. This meant there was a 100 percent chance I’d have at least one class with Jason. “He’s got a point,” Amy said. “Wouldn’t you rather rip the Band-Aid off tonight, so you can avoid a meltdown tomorrow?” “Maybe I could homeschool?” I suggested half-heartedly. “If you don’t come with us, he wins,” Eric chided. Amy nodded in agreement, then added, “You don’t even know if he’ll be there.” “Yeah, right,” I grumbled. There wasn’t a lot to do around here. We had a two-screen movie theater and a ten-lane bowling alley, both of which were older than dirt and smelled funky. If you wanted good entertainment, you had to drive over an hour to Amarillo or Lubbock. The annual Summer’s End Carnival was lame, but it was something to do. Jason would certainly be there. I chewed on my lip in panic. “What if he has a new girlfriend?” “He doesn’t,” Eric assured me. “Who cares if he does?” Amy snipped, growing tired of my excuses. “There’s plenty of cute, available fish in our tiny pond. You can’t settle on catfish before you’ve tried trout.” She thought she was being clever, but her analogy sucked. “Jason is not a catfish. Catfish are ugly,” I argued. Eric rolled his eyes. “All fish are ugly. But trout tastes better. Think of what you’d be missing if you only ever ate catfish.” “If I only ate catfish I wouldn’t know what I’d be missing, so I wouldn’t care.” Amy rifled through my closet. “If you want Jason back so bad, then you need to try trout. Lots of trout—preferably in front of him. Nothing makes a catfish more jealous than a good-looking trout.” She tossed some clothes at me along with my towel. “Get out there, look hot, talk to a bunch of guys, and flirt a little.” “Who am I supposed to flirt with?” “It doesn’t matter,” Eric answered with a smirk. He leaned against my Taylor Swift poster, because he knew it bugged me. “As long as it’s not yours truly.” I finally cracked, unable to suppress my laughter. “Um, I think that goes without saying.” ABOUT the AUTHOR:  The most important thing to know about me is that I'm basically a sixteen-year-old trapped in an adult's body.

An Introduction to Fate & Fortune I came up with the concept for Fate & Fortune about a year ago, but I was so wrapped up in my Perfect Series that it was placed on the back burner. Now that I’ve finally tackled writing it, the story has become a labor of love. Interweaving the plots between part one and part two has been much more complicated than I expected; a continuity nightmare. But in the end, taking on a more challenging project has strengthened me as a writer. My hope is that readers will find the premise different and exciting; and as always, that they’ll smile a lot and laugh out loud. Fate & Fortune: Part One follows one week in the lives of Paige (who has recently been dumped by her boyfriend of two years) and Bryce (who has been crazy about Paige since they were little). It’s a contemporary romance with unexpected and unique twists that imply a magical element. I won’t go into detail because that would ruin the surprise. ? Readers are left to wonder whether events are being orchestrated by a clever friend or manipulated by fate. This book has a fun and comedic supporting cast. Fate & Fortune: Part Two rewinds back to the beginning of the week and follows the lives of Paige and Bryce’s friends. This book is where you get the subplot of the story; the all-important look behind the scenes. You’ll find brand-new situations that fall within the time line of the first story. You’ll get some scenes that fill in the gaps from book one. And there will also be some of the same scenes shown from a different perspective and told with different inner dialogue. In the end, readers will discover who did it, how it was done, fate’s role in everything and if Paige and Bryce get their happily ever after. Robin

Awakened - Dot Caffrey
I totally enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was interesting how Ragnaryn and Graeden started out and how they evolved throughout the story. All the characters are well-developed and fun to get to know. They were easy to visualize and I could easily feel their emotions. I like the book cover and the title of the story. I feel like they are a very good fit. The story flows well from chapter to chapter and is easy to follow along. There is some sexual explicitness in the book. I would recommend this book to others who like a good adventure. I give this book a literary rating of 5/5 written by vickie 
AUTHOR BIO:
I was born and raised in New York, mostly on Long Island not “The City”. After high school, I moved to California and then did a three-year stint in the Navy before going to college and getting a Microbiology/Medical Technologist degree. According to my Dad, I’ve been a storyteller from the time I began talking (which was at a very young age). But, it wasn’t until a few years ago that I decided to take my passion for writing and my love for all things magical or mythical seriously and set out to write fantasy novels. When I’m not at my day job or writing, I enjoy creating and wearing costumes (cosplay), playing video games (though, I’m not very good at it) and watching NHL hockey and assorted other things many of which are merely time wasters. Of course, hanging out with my friends and my cats also pleasantly fills my time. Author links: Website | Facebook |

Out of Sight by Matthew S. Cox Publication date: August 13th 2018 Genres: Dystopian, Young Adult Synopsis: Most Citizens hold Outcasts in dim regard, but Sima never expected they’d throw her off the planet. In 2411, overpopulation has spread a plaque of filthy, congested city to the corners of the Earth. Government has raised corruption to an art form, and no one hears the cries of those left to die in the dark passageways of civilization. Following the End of Nations, people cling to the only division left: social status. Since running away from home four years ago, she’s managed to stay a step ahead of death―or worse. At sixteen, she’s getting too old to survive from begging, despite her best effort to pretend she’s younger. Worse, the sidewalks teem with little kids edging in on her turf, monopolizing Citizens’ charity with their wide, pleading eyes and genuine innocence. A chance meeting with suspiciously nice cops leaves her more confused than ever. Between deadly gangs, unforgiving security forces, and a terrifying madam eager to exploit a girl her age, merely getting older is the biggest threat to her life. With no good choice to make, she risks the least of three evils. Sima thought her life on Earth had been dangerous… She hasn’t seen anything yet. Goodreads | ~ Purchase: Amazon 
Out of Sight - Matthew S. Cox
Talk about a great imagination...This story has so much happening throughout it, I could hardly put it down. I love the fantasy world and the releationships that are formed with Sima and the other kids. The characters are all well-developed and I fell in love with these kids. It is easy to feel their emotions. The book cover and title fit the story perfectly. I highly recommend this book to other readers. I give this book a literary rating of 5/5 written by vickie

Note from the Author Welcome! I’m so excited to bring you my new series “The Kingdom to Come”. This first book “A Great Light” will introduce you to Prince Karhiad, a humble prince next in line to the throne, and his band of close loyal friends who live in the low social status of his kingdom. The crown prince respects his royal family, loves his parents and brother dearly, yet doesn’t align with their views of ruling the kingdom. He appreciates the authenticity that is found in his friends and the lifestyles of the lower and middle class. There is an evil entity that wanders the world and has an army of supernatural creatures that wreaks destruction amongst the kingdoms. The threat of this sinister beast isn’t the only dilemma in the Kingdom of Merrhius that Karhiad’s father must battle; it is also the rebellion of his son. If King Vilsig cannot get Karhiad committed to the ways of reigning over their kingdom, then he believes his legacy will diminish. Love is found in the most unforeseen place for this honorable prince. He will risk his inheritance to pursue this love fervently. In a battle of good vs. evil, the power of love isn’t just a shield to ward off the darkness — it’s also the strongest weapon of all. Jennifer 
A Great Light (The Kingdom to Come #1)
by Jennifer Ball Young Adult Christian Fantasy Paperback & ebook, 298 Pages June 28th 2018 by Revelation Publishing Company Love and war are often the same thing. Prince Karhiad is a humble king-in-waiting. His father, King Vilsig, rules the Kingdom of Merrhius with an iron fist. While the king dreams of endless conquests, his son only wants to conquer the hearts of his subjects through love instead of fear. Meanwhile, a dark and sinister force threatens every kingdom around. And if King Vilsig and Prince Karhiad can't put aside their differences, an ancient sinister beast and his supernatural army will lay waste to the Kingdom of Merrhius. On the night of Prince Karhiad’s 17th birthday, he is mesmerized by a radiant light and makes a decision to learn of its origin. That choice will force him towards answers he wasn't seeking, a woman he wasn't planning to fall in love with, and a destiny that will bring him great suffering yet an even greater reward. But in this gripping tale of good vs. evil, the power of love isn't just a shield to ward off the darkness -- it's also the strongest weapon of all. Goodreads│Amazon│B&N 
A Great Light - Jennifer Ball
This book is full of fascinating adventure. I like the way Jennifer separates the lands with distinctive differences. They are close in proximity but so far apart in their beliefs and the way they live. I really like the mystery of Trinicity. Karhiad and Faith have an amazing relationship and the friendships Karhiad has with his friends are great. The characters are well-developed and it is easy to feel their emotions. The story flows well from chapter to chapter and is easy to follow along and the title fits the story well. This is an awesome story and I highly recommend it to other readers.

About the Author
I am a friend of Jesus who at times fails at making this is my most important relationship. I am a wife who forgets at times this is my primary job. I am a mom who at times didn't get it right. I take lots of pictures that annoy everyone in my family except for my dog. She loves it. I began writing short stories when I was a child. I would sit in my room for hours writing as fast as I could to keep up with my thoughts. We didn't have a typewriter and certainly no computer. Too often my writing would turn to scribble. I ended up with lots of loose paper with many short stories written on them in half scribble that made it too difficult for others to read. Thanks to technology, I went back to my childhood passion and wrote a story that I turned into a readable book. That's me, to make a long story short. Website│Goodreads│Amazon Tour Giveaway:

Superhero High - T H Hernandez
I really enjoyed reading this story. So much fun with the different super powers. There is a lot going on throughout the story which held my attention from the beginning to the end. The characters are well-developed and I liked their different personalities. My favorite characters were of course Ren and Annarenee. They had a great connection and it was fun to see how their friendship grew. It is easy to feel the emotions of all the characters. The story flows well from chapter to chapter and it is easy to follow along. The title of the book fits the story well and the cover of the book is also a perfect match. I would recommend this book to other readers. There is a small amount of profanity in the book. I give this book a literary rating of 5/5 written by vickie
GUEST POST: Top 10 story ideas would you like to tackle in the future? I have a long list of books I’d love to write if I can find the time. Here are my top ten: 1. What happens when a girl who leads a charmed life suddenly has her luck fade away. 2. Turning the tables on the MeToo movement where a group of arrogant teen boys finds out what it’s like to be valued for their looks above everything else. 3. A dystopian story where parents are only permitted to have one child, and what they do when a set of identical twins is born. 4. A teen girl learns about homelessness in a big city when she falls a homeless boy. 5. A friends with benefits story with a twist. 6. Taking the double-standard about teens who have sex and placing it under a microscope. Slut-shaming of girls is one of my biggest pet peeves. 7. Time travel. It’s one of my favorite subgenres and I want to tackle it someday. 8. In a dystopian future, a ruler's son is forced to choose a bride from a pool of bachelorettes in a reality show he wants no part of. 9. A teen girl, adopted as an infant from China by American parents finds herself at the center of racism and fear after the U.S. President starts a war with North Korea. 10. Paranormal. But something new and different. I don’t know what yet, but I want to take on the world building that would go with paranormal and move it in a new direction. SOUNDS SUPER NEAT!

Review by Vickie!
Jaclyn and the Beanstalk - Mary Ting This is a fun story. It has a great love story and I love the way it is a retelling of sorts to one of my favorite stories. Jack and the Bean Stock. I think the monsters were a good twist to the giant in the original. The characters are well-developed, each one has a great personality. I could feel their emotions well. The story flowed well from chapter to chapter and was easy to follow along. The title of the book and book cover are a good fit for the story. I would recommend this book to other readers.

I love the Blue Spruce Lodge series. This story is about Wren and Trigg.

Paperback, 272 pages
Published July 2018 | ISBN 1524407208 (ISBN13: 9781524407209) The day of her parents' garden party dawns bright as Lydia Prescott eagerly anticipates a marriage proposal from a handsome and wealthy plantation owner. The lovely debutante plans to steal a moment away with her beau, but her plans go terribly awry. Instead of her intended, she is joined by a stranger the largest man she's ever laid eyes on. And it is clear Jacob Steele is there for reasons far more sober than the party. With British raids erupting all around them, it is his job to reassure plantation owners of their safety. In reality, however, Jacob is an espionage agent, and the truth is dire: America is on the verge of invasion by the British. Blissfully unaware of the danger surrounding her, Lydia basks in the glow of her recent engagement. But her joy is short-lived—a surprise British attack results in a devastating wound, and her plans for the future are shattered. Lost in her devastation, Lydia could never dream that Jacob, that giant of a man she met so briefly, would prove to be her saving grace. And with a war raging around them, she may be called upon to save him too.
MY REVIEW: (LAWondrr10) This is a novel with a setting toward the end of the Revolutionary War. I loved the tone of the story and how a tragedy changed the life of, particularly, one young woman and one honorable, courageous man. Little did Lydia know, on the day of her parents annual Garden Party, how much impact people she met that day, would have on her future. She was just eagerly awaiting the arrival of the handsome Plantation owner she was sure would soon propose marriage to her. Jacob Steele was out of his comfort zone in attending this "High Society" social. He was forced to endure such occasions in order to obtain financial support in his espionage efforts against the British invading their country. The only other highlight was the smiling, spirited young woman who he first met after arriving. She was, however, just another spoiled wealthy debutante. Lydia was assured by her father their home was safe from the path of the British. She felt safe until one night, while her parents were gone for a couple of days, the British raided their home. While hiding, she was caught in a fire. This story was built on the vanity in society and of the compassion of those who aren't socially acceptable, sometimes "outshines" the vain cruelty of others. It, also, emphasized the importance of "not judging a book by its cover". There was enough action to keep the reader's interest. It was a refreshingly positive approach to humanity. Of the honor which used to exist even between most enemies". I offer a Five Stars rating. *This book was gifted to me with no request for a positive review. This is my honest review.

Meet Kin (Katsutoshi), a supporting character in my new novel Hiro Loves Kite, which continues the story of Nora and Kettle. Kin is confident, funny and loyal. Raised by a loving mother and father as a Japanese-American, Kin doesn’t have the same doubts about his background as Kettle (Hiro) who never knew his parents. He’s proud of his heritage and stands tall, both physically and mentally, despite his difficulty in walking. Many of the young Japanese-American men interned during World War Two enlisted to prove their loyalty to the government. Kin’s father was one of those men and was sadly killed in action. This layered more pride across Kin’s shoulders and solidified his surety that he deserved his place in American society. When Kin’s mother died of tuberculosis in the camps, his anger towards their treatment fuelled a fire that has never stopped burning. But where Kettle has always feared authority, Kin defies it openly. Looking the men who throw insults his way right in the eye and throwing those insults back. It gets him in trouble. It got him in a fight that nearly killed him. But he’s a survivor and a sweet talker and his rehabilitation is going well at the returned servicemen’s home he managed to talk his way into. Kin’s humor in the face of adversity has always got him through and it’s lifted his best friend up in the worst of times. He considers it his job to get Kettle to lighten the hell up and he takes it very seriously. But underneath the jokes and bravado is a guy with a big heart. Kin may pretend to be self-absorbed but he wants nothing more than for Kettle (Hiro) to be happy. And if that gets him a little extra something in the process, well, he wouldn’t say no to that.

Book Tour Grand Finale Queen of Iron and Blood By Melissa Wright We hope you enjoyed the tour! If you missed any of the stops you can see snippets, as well as the link to each full post, below: Launch - Note from the Author Welcome to the tour for Queen of Iron and Blood, book two in the Shattered Realms series! It was a thrill to continue the story of plucky heroine Mackenzie Scott, her younger brother Riley, and the complicated creatures who invaded their world... It's All About the Romance - Excerpt A black-winged bird slammed into the glass inches from Hannah’s face, the noise making her fingers tighten around the stock of her M4. She wanted to turn away from the window, from the disingenuousness of that promising sky, and cross the darkened room. But Hannah was on watch. She straightened, eyes narrowed against the light of a hidden sun, and another bird smacked into the glass with a dull thud. Thud. Thud, thud, thud. SilverWoodSketches - Review "Wright has a true gift for telling compelling stories with intriguing characters. Shattered Realms is no exception. In many ways, this may be my favorite story she's told to date. With enough stakes and action to keep you guessing, this is the fairypocalypse amalgamation dystopian fans didn't know they were missing." An Indie Adventure - Excerpt Hannah pulled the gun up to her shoulder, leaving a good ten feet between her and that glass. She’d never wanted to join the army. She never would have. Now she didn’t have a choice... Declarations of a Fangirl - Excerpt “Captain!” she yelled a third time, irritation clear in her voice as she pushed her helmet away from her brow. The captain came up behind her, finally, his boots muted against the damp concrete floor. “What is it, Mitchell?” “Birds,” she told him. He shifted, coming into her peripheral as two more bodies slammed against the glass. He nodded. “It’s happening at East Creek, too. Nothing to be alarmed about.” My Life, Loves and Passion - Review "I loved how it was written. You can actually picture the scenes as you read them. You feel like you are right there breathing the air, feeling the anxiety. I am definitely going to reading more by this author." Letters from Annie (Douglass) Lima - Guest Post What types of plants, animals, or sentient races might we encounter in the dying lands that we don’t see on Earth? The Iron Bound are a race of chimeras, each varied and unique, though many resemble a patchwork of creatures akin to those on Earth. In addition to stealing this realm’s energy, the Iron Bound also bring over flora, which transforms into something otherworldly when exposed to the dying lands power. Andi's Young Adult Books - Excerpt Weeks after the original invasion, after the Breach and all that followed, Hannah had been in one of the trucks sent to ground zero. She had known the other soldiers for only a matter of days, but they were not easy days. She and a seventeen-year-old redhead named Riley had become close. She’d relied on him, she realized later, in a way she’d never meant to. And when Riley had told her what happened, when it had turned out he needed her, Hannah could not keep herself from promising she would help. She didn’t think she regretted it, but it was hard to be sure. Wishful Endings - Review "QUEEN OF IRON AND BLOOD is another thrilling adventure as war continues between two realms, risking not only humanity on earth but also those who live in the other realm. Non-stop action, endearing and fierce characters, and an uphill battle with everything at risk makes for an engaging story from start to finish. A fantastic sequel that will leave readers hoping for more to come in this magical world! . . . I enjoyed every single minute." Angel's Guilty Pleasures - Excerpt Her fingers tightened around the M4 at the memory. She’d never shot a man before, but her mother and father had shown her how it was done. She had hit a target enough to know she’d aimed correctly. But the bullet had missed. Hunter, that being from a hole in the sky, had curved its trajectory around him. Her gun was useless, she knew it, and yet Hannah stood in this darkened room and gripped it like it was the end of the world. Because it was the end of the world. Reading On The Edge - Excerpt She hadn’t told them about, Hunter, who had brought them to safety before he’d opened the gate. She hadn’t told them about how he’d saved Hannah and the others, how he’d gotten countless men to run and hide and stay safely out of the way. The creature had brought them here, behind the shelter of this reinforced glass, his eyes glowing with a light so blue that each of them could see it was unnatural, and they’d been so terrified they’d followed him anyway. No one had included it in their report. Hannah didn’t know if it was because the creature had saved them... Getting Your Read On - Excerpt Riley had kept the wound a secret, hidden from everyone so he could join the troops and fight. But when the gateway started to pull, she’d seen him moving toward it, trying to leave the safety of their shelter. She’d misunderstood at first, thought he’d been going after his sister, to help her escape the storm. Hannah’s fingers had clawed into Riley’s shirt as he fought her, tearing the material to reveal a duct-tape-covered arm. It had been hot, buzzing, and suddenly she’d known what he’d been hiding all along. Riley had been Marked. Colorimetry - Excerpt “I remember thinking, ‘This is it,’” she told her captain. “‘This is where they drop the bomb. Where we all die.’” She swallowed hard, waiting for the next bird to hit the glass like a child counting the seconds between lightning and thunder. It didn’t come. “They didn’t drop a bomb,” he said. Stacking My Book Shelves! - Excerpt For one brief moment, there had been pure hope. Rejoice. Relief. Weeping. An effort to regroup. And then came the attacks. Systematic. Orderly. Pointed. They hit strategic targets: power plants, tech firms, supply routes. It was the worst thing they could imagine, the scariest turn of events. These were not the initial attacks. The monsters weren’t merely beasts playing with their prey. This was intelligent. Deliberate. Nicole's Book Musings - Excerpt “Captain,” Hannah asked, “what do you think happened to them?” She didn’t have to say it. The Marked had been heavy on the minds of everyone since the first night: why had they been chosen? Were they picked at random, just to die? Once they’d been taken through the gateway, it was clear it wasn’t anything like rapture. It had been an otherworldly hole in the sky, gaping and huge and glittering like stardust. Not heaven. Not angels. A void. And monsters. Don't forget to enter the giveaway below, if you haven't already...

Durant Publication date: July 29th 2018 | Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult Synopsis:An ancient power long kept dormant stirs in the shadows once more as one boy embarks on a quest to earn his freedom and the freedom of his world! Magic has turned to myth, the Vaelhyreans of old to legend, and the power wielded by the ancients has long been forgotten.

Yet how can he survive in a world where magic is illegal, half-breeds are hated, and the four countries are on the brink of war? Goodreads | ~ Purchase: Amazon |
On Darker Waters – Uri’s Story Uri hadn’t seen the sun for days. It had been a long voyage as it was. They’d been at sea for months, after making that detour to steer clear of the Isle of the Damned. But they were s’posed to have gotten to port at least a week ago. Instead, they were heading into the middle of nowhere, low on food and fresh water. Of all the bad decisions Captain Stavery’d made, this was by far the worst. A loud screech echoed through the mist that cast a thick veil all the way to the surface of the waters, which were swirling and foaming all strange like. It weren’t the first one; the screeching was becoming more of a constant thing the deeper they got into the mist. But Uri cringed all the same, trying to peer for the source of the sound from the railing of the crow’s nest, where he was leaning. All he could make out was the dark cliffs that loomed to the right of the ship. They were sailing unusually close to them, which even he knew was dangerous. The odd screeching from the top of the cliffs and the occasional falling rocks weren’t helping to ease his nerves. It weren’t normal; none of it. He just wanted to go back to where the sun was shining and he could watch it glinting off the waves like a bunch of glittering crystals. Or actually feel the breeze. That’d be nice. There was a sudden commotion down on deck, and Uri peered down the mast. The crew was drawing anchor and preparing to lower one of the row boats. He barely had time to wonder what was going on when there was a shout of, “Captain on deck!” The crew all clambered to salute, but Uri only scowled. He was up in the crow’s nest anyhow. It weren’t like they’d see him if he didn’t fall over himself to pretend respect he didn’t feel. “Hurry it up!” Captain Stavery shouted, then took a swig from the bottle that rarely left his hand. He cast a glance at the cliffs all worried like, and then turned all the sudden, his gaze landing straight on Uri. Uri ducked back, hoping he hadn’t been seen. “Boy! Get down here!” the captain’s course voice echoed in the still air. Uri had no choice but to do as he was told. He scrambled down the rigging and approached cautiously, ready to high-tail it back up the moment he saw there was any trouble. “Get in the boat,” the captain snapped. “You’re comin’ with me.” Uri moved his bare toe over a knot in the wood of the deck. “Why for?” “‘Cause I said so! I don’t want no back-talk from you, ya hear? Get in the bloody boat!” Uri glanced nervously to the cliff. “Where we goin’?” “It ain’t your concern! Get in the boat before I throw you over the side.” The boy high-tailed for the rigging, but two of the crew members grabbed him, dragging him to the boat. He struggled against them, but it was no use. They tossed him into the boat. Pain vibrated up his leg, and he swore loudly. The captain climbed into the boat after him and it was lowered into the churning waters below. Uri glanced down. He didn’t trust this sea. Captain Stavery shoved an oar into his hands. “Start rowin’,” he ordered, sitting down across from him. Uri noticed no one else was coming with them, but he didn’t dare ask why not. He took the oars and started rowing. His orange hair stuck to his forehead with sweat. The air was unbearably warm. Their destination soon materialized from the mist in the form of a dark fortress, which rose above a narrow pass between two cliffs. The pass led to the harbor they were in. There was a strange glow around the fortress, almost like it was on fire. Only there were no flames that he could see. They reached the docks at the edge of the rocky shore, and Captain Stavery stepped out, the boards creakin’ under his feet. He was greeted by a whole lot of fellows in black outfits. They seemed not to like people lookin’ at them, ’cause their faces were all covered up. After a few words with them that Uri couldn’t make out, Stavery turned back to him. “Don’t just sit there, boy. Get up!” Uri quickly scrambled out of the boat, tripping over the edge and falling down. Got a splinter in his hand from the rough wood of the wharf, but the captain grabbed his arm, jerking him to his feet. He shoved him to walk in front of him as they followed the guards up a steep pathway toward the creepy castle. They were led up to the front door, which they reached by climbing up a long flight of stairs and then crossing over this pit filled with this spitting, glowing gold liquid fire stuff. Uri was relieved when the front door was opened for them, until he saw inside. Everything was all black: the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. There seemed to be designs carved on the walls, but he couldn’t make them out because there were hardly any lights in the place neither. A squad of even more of the guards with covered faces came to meet them. At their head, there was this short girl near Uri’s age. She approached Captain Stavery, folding her hands behind her back, and Uri could swear he saw the captain flinch. “This way,” she said, all stern like, and the captain followed. Uri trotted after them. They were led to a large room where there was this red carpet and a throne, and lots of big stone statues of people holding torches on either side of the carpet. Oh, and big metal bowl things that had fire in them up in front of the throne. Uri was too busy looking at it all that he didn’t notice the others had stopped, and ran into the captain from behind. Captain Stavery grabbed his arm and made him stand beside him. “Stavery,” a soft, chilling voice resonated in the room. “It has been a while.” “My liege.” Stavery bowed, shoving Uri onto his knees while he was at it. “I’ve come as always to show my loyalty to you, and to make a request. That request bein’ that which I’ve always wanted: a better way to serve you, master.” “And I have told you,” the controlled voice responded, and Uri thought he saw a person on the throne in the shadows now, “that I cannot give you the fleet of ships you desire unless you give me something valuable in return.” “Well,” Uri piped up, “if its gold you’re after, the captain’s got tons of it.” Stavery cuffed him upside the head. “It is not gold that I require, boy,” the voice said from the shadows. “I need something more precious than that.” “I have another offer to make,” Stavery said, shoving Uri forward. “My son. You can have ‘im. He’s the most precious thing I got.” There was a long and dreadful pause. Uri wasn’t sure exactly what was going on, but he didn’t like it. “You would trade your own son?” the voice said at last. “Yeah, I would.” “No he wouldn’t!” Uri cried, starting to panic. “P-pap, I’ve been good! I’ll be better! You can’t-” “I can do what I want,” his father replied gruffly. Then he turned back to the man on the throne. “Is it a deal?” “No! I ain’t gonna stay here! Please-” He was cut off as Stavery struck him, knocking him to the floor. “Is it a deal?” Again, there was silence. Uri lay still, tears wetting his face. He shoulda known. His pap had never wanted him. Never really… “If this is a bargain you are willing to make,” the voice said slowly, “than yes. You shall have your ships. But you must know that there will be no going back on this trade. Stavery glanced at his fourteen-year-old son. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
