Summary
Robbed of freedom, of choice, familiarity and understanding, Lumine loses the control of her life. What she once had: a brother, a home, friends... Once the decision was made to honour a contract with a near mythical beast, never again can it be the same. There was nothing to be done.
That day, as per the role forced upon her, Lumine was left to die in the fangs of a beast.
But then, what is she to do, when it doesn't happen? When the beast does not act as expected? When she is thrust into a new world that myths and stories could only describe from afar? What is she to do, when speech is not an option?
What else? Start life anew and wrestle back into her hands all that was robbed from her. Look deep into the pair of amber eyes she gained in return, in search of connection. For the dragon she finds herself entangled with has his own share of problems to contend with.

Summary
Her name is Caroline, picture-perfect Caroline with her storybook romance, and she is not the hero of this story.
For once, her best friend Jane Smith takes the stage, and oh how she regrets it.
The world ended with a bang and left Jane to reap the consequences. Stuck in a world she doesn't understand and doesn't belong to, Jane finds herself irrecoverably altered by the experience. Cursed with magic she can't control, she aligns herself where her new powers will do some good.
At least, they would do some good if she could get a handle on them.
Maybe she'll just stick to taking care of the horses.
[On hiatus.]

Summary
“What is that?”
“Am I to presume you’ve lost your sight as well as your wits?”
“No, I was only--”
An exasperated scoff, “Only wasting my time, as well as your own. It’s a child-- a girl, if I need be specific.”
“May I ask why you are bringing this... child into our home?”
“You’ve never needed my permission to ask inane questions before." The woman laughs abruptly, but her voice is grave again when she speaks, "No need to make faces, girl. This once, I shall indulge you: No. You may not ask. You will not get any answers from me. Nor, do I suspect, will you find many with her.”
You wake up in a body that is not your own, in a world you only ever saw through a screen. The threads of the future are in your hands, but there are years yet until the story unfolds... and Flemeth is watching you.
