I am moving. Sorry folks, but I haven't even seen my computer, much less have been able to sit down and write. Please bear with me, more will be coming after the dust finally settles.
Stories Found Here or Planned:
(Synopsis are subject to update and improvement as the stories become more defined.)
The Lodestone:
When a silver-eyed stranger appears claiming to be in love with Ekki, she quite sensibly turns him away. The man is clearly insane. But that can't explain the intimacy with which he seems to know her, or his uncanny ability to predict certain events. Then time itself starts misbehaving, and Ekki finds herself thrust into a race to possess an ancient artifact that might just have been key in creating not only this world, but time itself. Allied against her are legendary monsters with the faces of men, monsters under divine order to erase humanity for good. Standing with her? Well, there is a certain, seemingly crazy man...
Well of the White Women:
It started with a desperate plea for help. Five childhood friends, separated by time, distance, and a lingering bitterness find themselves drawn to answer the call of the fifth. It was supposed to be a simple reunion, bury old grievances, congratulate a new engagement, and catch up on old times. Instead they find themselves thrust into a Gothic mansion deep in an ancient wood, and into the heart of a timeless mystery. Girls from a nearby boarding school are vanishing without a trace, and worse, people are forgetting they ever existed. Strange creatures roam the woods by night, and noises come from deep within the mansion that have no earthly explanation. The answers seem to lie in an ancient myth and in secrets one of their number seems compelled to keep. But as the disappearances multiply, will they have time to unravel the mystery before they are next on the list?
A Binding of Dreams:
Chirysh spent her life raised in the Sisterhood of the Dreaming Future, a lowly apprentice who often fled the temple to learn music and tricks from traveling performers who used their grounds as both waystation and safehouse. That is, until the day she was chosen by a Daemon the sisters only knew as Eidolon, and she received a prophetic vision that showed the downfall of the sisterhood. Her subsequent flight brings her to a far away kingdom, where she managed to find work as a castle servant. Though she tries to settle into a quiet life as she learns the language and ways of this land, she is still plagued by demon-provided visions, and when she catches the eye of the Queen's Own bodyguard things become more complicated still. Magical storms are shifting reality while the armies are barely managing to keep inhuman enemies at bay. The only creature who seems to have all the answers is Eidolon, but he has his own secret agenda, one that could imperil them all.
