The door to the suite clicked open, and Lesh’s voice boomed out, “Fosterling!”

Victor sat on the supple leather couch, looking through the enormous windows at the park and the city beyond it. Rather than a medieval magical world, he felt like he was looking out at a futuristic New York or Paris...
2024-01-09 16:11:05 +0000 UTC View PostLove all the feedback I'm getting! I included the "speed" scene in this chapter because I think there was some misconception about what the Cybergen reflex kit Juliet installed could do. Enjoy :)

It was mid-morning when Ward rang the little bell on Maggie’s gate. He could see and smell the smoke coming from her little chimney, so he knew she was up and about, but it still took her a few minutes to open her doo...

Victor handed the pouch to Gorro ap’Dommic, nodding as though the act sealed the deal they’d made. “On a hillside with a view of the sea.” It contained hermitage blueprints and all of the exotic building supplies it would require to build.

Juliet had never chased another motor vehicle before. The idea that her speeding was in the service of a greater good removed any semblance of inhibition, and she cranked the throttle on her bike, leaning forward so her chest rested on the vibrating plasteel shroud that covere...

34 – Nightwork
Ward grunted, driving the narrow shovel into the soft soil again, throwing the black dirt onto the growing pile. The shovel, or maybe “spade,” was a more appropriate term, had an annoyingly short handle and a blade flatter and narrower than the mod...
