Chapter 27

Lux hesitates to say it, but she knows there’s only one choice. She can’t just turn and run, not after everything. She looks up at Sylvia, noticing that Minn has been hovering apprehensively nearby. “We fight,” she says. “We get out of here together.” Sylvia’s expression flicke...

Chapter 28

Amid the tangled coils of the maze, Lux and the guardian are locked in their deadly dance. Minn flies overhead, shouting encouragement to Lux – and insults that the guardian can’t hear. Each swipe by the monster fails on Lux’s blade. Cut by cut, it’s further on the defence...

Chapter 47

The ancient torches cast their eerily flickering light as Lux and Athisz face each other down, beneath the looming majesty of the citadel. Lux tries to keep her breathing steady, although her heart is beating like a drum. Last time she fought this battle, she barely made it out a...

Chapter 48

Athisz’s eyes loom huge before Lux’s wavering sight. The power, the influence, that’s turned so many others into thralls – Lux can feel it working on her now, wearing down her resolve. And this time, she’s too weak to break free. Desperately she tries to tear her eyes away, but...

Chapter 50

Gill tries to back away, forgetting how little room there is in here. He half-trips over one of the beds, and the next thing he knows, he’s barely fending of a knife-swipe – Rosabel lashing out, wild-eyed. _It’s still her_, he reminds himself. Even now, when she seems about to m...

Chapter 16

A sudden movement in the corner of Lux’s eye is the only warning. With a sudden crash and snap, shapes burst through the undergrowth, all around. Small, blue shapes – bigger ones, with many legs – all closing in fast… Lux’s reflexes are fast enough for a spell. At her invocation...

Chapter 17

The mites fidget behind their cover, waiting for Urko’s signal. Patience isn’t in their nature, but cowardice is; they don’t want to attack unless their leader is with them. In Urko’s hand, the fairy lance glitters with soporific magic. That’s all he needs to win this fight. With...

Chapter 18

Urko’s mind races with the possibilities on offer, but one priority easily tops the rest. He tugs and tears until he’s able to pull down the girl’s breeches, salivating at the way they push in the soft flesh of her hips and thighs. Oh, yes, some good meat on this one. It takes so...

Chapter 20

Fuzzy thoughts hover in Lux’s mind. Vague recollections of formless pleasure. As she rises from the depths of slumber, those feelings fade – replaced by aches and pains. Her neck protests as she lifts her head up from her chest and tries to blink away the fog of sleep. She wants...

Chapter 21

Moving her head as little as possible, Lux eyes her escape route. The camp isn’t that big. Even numbed and cramped from lying bound like this, she’s confident she can outpace the mites on foot. It’s just a matter of getting free, and running for it. No reason to get fancy. She t...

Chapter 31

From her perch on the bank, Lux peers down into the river, watching the little waves and ripples swirl past. She can make out the shapes of weeds waving, the shadows of one or two tiny darting fish – no vast toothy maws or grasping tentacles. Not to say _safe_, but it looks…like...

Chapter 32

Lux just has the presence of mind to suck down a lungful of air before she’s pulled under. The sudden movement and the rush of cold jerk her to her senses. Yet for a moment, she’s lost – disoriented in the swirling water. Her feet kick in search of the riverbed, finding no purcha...
