Cursed
“Being worn down by the boots of societies mediocrity doesn’t mean you’re evil.” She nudged his shoulder with hers. Fluttering her wings a little to warm the air. She knew he loved the heat, but he stayed in this fridged land, paying penance. She longed to tell him, throw her wings out and fly him away from here. He relaxed and allowed himself to indulge the warm wind.

Three days had passed since Mr. and Mrs. Hamberg had died and on the fourth day Rohan and Gertrude could no longer pretend as if nothing had happened. The siblings had met each other in the kitchen, both looking for breakfast. They could smell something terrible in the air.

The Hunter
The fire wasn’t moving. Blank shook out her hands, twisting to look over her shoulder. The waves in the sparse moonlight were still. The lack of the sea's unending chatter unnerved her. Apart from her own breath, the world around her was dead silent. Guy, Ides, and Eridin were just behind her, chests heaving from exertion, staring past her towards the fire. Rue, who’d been standing nearby, scrambled back, balancing on her toes as if to bolt for the jungle. Blank became aware of a shadow blocking out the orange firelight. She looked up.

The Clockmaker’s Secret
London, 1762 In a cramped shop along Fleet Street, the rhythmic ticking of a dozen clocks filled the air like a chorus of whispers. Among them, hunched over his workbench, sat Edwin Harrow, a master of time.
