Whiskey and Wagers

A Blacksea Odyssey short story

A little gambling, drinking, and flirting...a perfect night out. Until assassins crash the party.

Nyssa Blacksea intends to drink, gamble, and make a little mischief. Her best friend, Athen, is about to embark on his new life away from their guild. While his future is set, hers remains uncertain. She faces a lonely life of training to be a warrior—a warrior who may never get a chance to prove her worth.

The bittersweet celebration turns on its head when Nyssa catches the eye of a mysterious woman and their flirtation veers into danger. Nyssa never runs from a fight, but sometimes, the odds just aren't in her favor. Especially when magick is involved. Will Nyssa's unwavering penchant for following her instincts—and heart—lead to disaster?
