“What the hell was that, Alia?” Cerri asked, her tone practically pulsing with anxiety.

The moment we stepped out into the wind and snow, we lost the ability to communicate except for vague hand gestures. I’d opted to make this trip as Silver, after first finding Charles as Kaia to ...

I was still thinking about the enchantment walking staff as we left the workshop. It hadn’t done anything when I played around with the finished metal engraving. Not even when I sang at it, which...

“Alia,” Rusti said urgently. “Plug the phone in. We'll spoof your location and draw the cops off your trail.”

“Here,” Chloe said, laying the piece of paper down on the desk in the classroom she'd claimed. All her plants were in here now too, lined up on the thick windowsill. A windowsill that was now c...

The cop car I’d just eviscerated with two hundred and eleven bullets was only the first. Dozens more were hurtling up from behind as the civilian traffic desperately pulled aside in an attempt no...

The morning after returning from our trip, I headed to the workshop. Snow covered everything, and only thin paths had been shovelled out. April's forge, at least, appeared to be free of snow… unt...

It took us around the same amount of time to get back from the quarry to Edgewood, but that was because we had to stop singing for a day due to the cold air of the eternal winter—it was like razo...

The van lurched as Gloria wove through increasingly panicked civilian traffic. Traffic that the cops didn't care at all about hitting with their excessive attempts to stop us.

“Why aren't you angry?” I asked tentatively as we picked our way back through the woods towards the camp.

Chloe was a lot quieter on her feet than me, so I couldn't actually find her in the darkness. The sounds of combat continued ahead, though, so they were my beacon.

I got barely any sleep, thanks to my own dumbass brain. So little sleep, in fact, that I dozed my way through the watch period while Chloe actually kept an eye out for problems. She appeared not to...

We got permission to go on the trip, but then we spent four days waiting for ‘Silver’ to show up so she could be asked to help. Silver, of course, did not show up. The Captain was hesitant to l...

With one day left before the Cherish arrived, we were on the clock in a very anxiety-inducing way. Despite having an address for where Jason's stepdad was hanging out, we had no way of knowing wher...
