Defy All Odds
This switches between many different POVs, as Princess Alexandria and her friends try to make it home after being kidnapped and mercilessly tortured. They have to cross the entire length of the enemy's country without being caught, with a large company of refugees to drag them down. Their guide Darren is their best chance of survival after years of information-gathering in the Margetin Prison, but when a devastating secret is revealed about his heritage, questions are raised. Who can they trust?

Oh-So Therapeutic
Based on my own stay in a psychiatric ward. Rather interesting, if I do say so myself. Dedicated to Katie, who commissioned me for this, and to Tirzah, the most faithful person I've ever met despie the circumstances.
