23. Domition was sitting next to Lucius, but he wasn’t really there.

She pressed her face to his chest and he planted kisses on her cheek … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Twenty-three

When she wasn’t lying on her … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Twenty-One

In addition to the Saga of Nine Rings, I have a number of other stories … Continue reading Other Projects
Spiritum – Chapter Nineteen
19. “This is all you found”? The General Secretary didn’t seem that impressed with the battered, old sword lying before him. “Yes sir”, Haldron answered. He sat in the same seat as the day before.
