“Alastair?
Alastair!” Callum’s voice echoed off the cave walls, fading away, transfiguring
into something like deep laughter, a malicious cackle, before dying in the dark
heart of the mountain.
Callum drew his knife; blade at the
ready and torch in hand, he pressed deeper into the darkness.
Twice he slipped and nearly fell,
only just recovering himself. A roar began to build, the sound of torrential
waters pounding around him. Callum grimaced, feet already soaked from the
cave’s stream, but kept going. His senses, sharpened by the darkness and
stillness of the cavern, told him that there was another human presence here,
and not far away. His heart hammered, loud enough it seemed, to echo against
the stone.
The passageway squeezed tightly
around him, narrowing until he was wriggling more than walking. He was crawling
through the cracks until, with one final struggle, he pushed through the
passageway, buttons scraping off as he stumbled into a wide, open chamber.
The cave stretched away, far beyond
the reach of his torch. The waterfall’s sound was deafening here, thundering
into deep water. Callum stepped forward, feet splashing, and saw the waterfall
at last.
What had sounded like a huge
cataract was only a foot high. The water foamed over a shallow shelf of stone,
the cave’s acoustics making it sound like a vast fall, but Callum had no eyes
for the waterfall. For there, curled up on a stone island in the middle of the
pool, lay Alastair.
The boy lay asleep or unconscious,
dark curls tumbling down, face thin and strained even while unconscious. He
stirred, murmuring, and Callum nearly collapsed in relief. “Alastair,” he
called, but the boy didn’t stir.
Callum started forward, wading into
the pool only to freeze as dim forms emerged from the depths. They curled
around him, fish-like and serpentine. The elementals of Water bared their fangs
at him, scales flashing in their own weird, eldritch light. On the stone
island, Earth elementals gathered around the boy, teeth sharp and wet as they
snarled at Callum.
He retreated, splashing back out of
the pool onto the narrow shore. For a moment he regarded the scene: shallow
waterfall, sleeping boy, vicious elementals. Then he let out a barking,
humorless laugh.

kill an invincible beast, he is thrust into a mystery where nothing—even
the monster—is what it seems...
Morgan Bane, the heir of Bane’s Academy of akashic magic, has found more
love in Tatu’s crime syndicate than his own family. Mostly consisting of
an oppressed goblin race, the Syndicate is skeptical of a boy with so much
privilege. To prove his loyalty, Morgan must sever the hand of Graft
Agoseris, the most bloodthirsty enforcer on the island and, more
importantly, the father of his first love. Death in all families is
inevitable, and Morgan must make the final choice between them.
"With Stunted Wings", follows a pair of unconventional twins, fairies
each born with only one full wing as they navigate a world designed around
flight. Blending their elemental powers with potions, resurrection spells,
and soul magic, they explore just how far one will go to get what they've
always desired.
"Dith the fire witch: A Night Order story" In this preindustrial world,
humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction. Only witches and
rogues have the skill to take on the demon hordes. Edith, Dith to some,
has been blood gifted the rare magic of fire. Whether the hunt leads her
into the depths of a drowner lake or skin-wearer infested woods, she'll
walk away with demon heads. But the demons are once again rallying armies,
and Dith can't take them all on by herself.
