A Servant's Heart, Chapter 19

A Servant's Heart, Chapter 21
Chapter 21 "Keeper?" Night Star's voice came from the door to the hold. Strong Soul didn't need to hear his voice to know that he was coming, either. She could feel his presence down the hall. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the...
A Servant's Heart, Chapter 16

A Servant's Heart, Chapter 13

A Servant's Heart, Chapter 18

A Servant's Heart, Chapter 1

A Warrior's Heart, Chapter 18
