Ozanna has been kidnapped … for the second time in as many months, though it appears this time around she’s the intended target. Quite the professional setback for a bodyguard. Her captors intend to take her to meet Lhoris and Lobikno’s oldest brother, a meeting she dreads. Bound tight, with her options as limited as her mobility, she waits for the perfect opportunity to attempt an escape... moreOzanna has been kidnapped … for the second time in as many months, though it appears this time around she’s the intended target. Quite the professional setback for a bodyguard. Her captors intend to take her to meet Lhoris and Lobikno’s oldest brother, a meeting she dreads. Bound tight, with her options as limited as her mobility, she waits for the perfect opportunity to attempt an escape.After surviving the harrowing incident in Bergellon, Lhoris and Lobikno embark on a rescue mission that is obviously a trap. They have no plan, no reinforcements, and no help on the inside. It’s a fool’s errand, but there’s little difference between fools and lovers, especially when the Virra brothers are involved.On top of all that, the questionable paternity of Ozanna’s pregnancy is driving a wedge between them, one that neither of them completely understands. Will reuniting with her improve the situation or make it worse? less

LobiknoFate’s a meddling son-of-a-b*tch and I’ll choke him if I ever get the chance!For seventeen years I lived a happy life with family and friends. But that bastard can’t leave well enough alone.The world outside our nation has gone to sh*t, so the Crown asked me to set up a boarder outpost. Oh, and play diplomat with the nearby elven refugees. That’s equivalent to asking the boogieman to babysit, but the list of candidates really was one dark-elf long... moreLobiknoFate’s a meddling son-of-a-b*tch and I’ll choke him if I ever get the chance!For seventeen years I lived a happy life with family and friends.

When we received word a permanent military presence was coming, we all heaved a sigh of relief.At least until they arrived.The dark-elf captain in charge of the new outpost, with scars and intense crimson eyes, left the woodland-elves up in arms!Captain Lobikno was an intimidating figure, but he was also kind and playful, hardly a monster!Can I get the elves to see how hard he’s trying to help us all, or will my efforts drive our communities further apart? And for pity’s sake, can someone figure out where all of these monsters are coming from? less
