Ayla studied the wall for a few seconds. There was nothing that indicated there was anything behind it. Ayla was about to turn on her heels when something caught her eye. On the bottom left corner, a little piece was missing. She crouched to take a better look at it. Kerra grabbed Ayla’s messenger bag and pulled hard. “Kerra, stop!” Ayla said, but the snowcat ignored her. “Don’t tell me you are hungry. Haven’t you been hunting?” Kerra, somehow, opened the messenger bag and got inside. “Kerra, get out of there!” When Kerra refused to do as Ayla demanded, she grabbed the snowcat, pulled her out of the bag, and put her on the floor. Kerra dropped something at Ayla’s feet. “What’s that?” Ayla asked, picking up the item. It was the quartz Ayla had found in the magic pool. Ayla narrowed her eyes. The shape, the color… Ayla glanced at Kerra and then at the wall. “Do you think it’s the missing piece?” To Ayla’s surprise, it did fit. The wall vibrated and disappeared beneath the flo

“Do not dare talk back to me! And what are you wearing? Look at your hair. I can’t decide if you want to look like a cheap Nordmarian whore or if you are pretending to be a man.” “I am wearing what King Rhobart gives me. I can’t make demands of the King. I am nothing more than a slave to him.” “Ah, but a slave that warms his bed. Too bad he has to find another whore to fuck. We are leaving!” the man said angrily. Ayla tried to take a step back, but the man grabbed her hand. “But… but I am King Rhobart’s property! You can’t take me away when you wish to.” He slapped her again. Tears pricked her eyes, but she blinked them away. “You will do as I say. Besides, your days as a spy are over. Your work here is done.” Someone stepped out from behind a half-burned bookshelf. Godefray. Ayla had to stop herself from cursing and shouting at Godefray. She should have brought Kerra with her, after all. “I never doubted that you were as rotten as your brother and father, but to come to Nord

“You killed my mother and grandmother?” Ayla asked Galian. Galian pulled her hair up, forcing her to stand on her toes. “Stop calling them that! I had to kill them because of you!” “Galian,” Rhobart snarled. “Let go of my wife! This is the last time I am going to ask you nicely.” Galian ignored Rhobart. “Queen Lavia might not be my birth mother, but she and my father were soulmates. She promised my father to love and care for me as if I were her real daughter. Queen Lavia is my mother. One day, you will pay for what you did to them,” she promised Galian. Galian tsked. “The only one that will suffer is going to be you. Have you told your husband my favorite game while growing up?” She never wanted Rhobart to know. “Don’t!” she begged him. “So you didn’t?” Galian looked at Rhobart. “My favorite game was to count how many times I could make Ayla scream while I broke her fingers or I whipped her. Among other things.” Rhobart snarled, “You did what?” Milton and the twins turned p

The ceiling above Rhobart, Milton, and the twins collapsed, trapping them beneath a pile of stone, books, and wood. Fortunately, Milton had activated a shield around them, preventing them from being killed. A dim globe of light floated above them. “Fuck!” Rhobart swore while trying to find a way out so he could go after Galian and Ayla. Galian. That son of a bitch not only came after his soulmate, his wife, but he had hit her, and Rhobart hadn’t been able to stop that bastard from doing so. Not when Galian had held a cursed dagger against her neck. And it wasn’t the first time Galian had put his hands on Ayla. ‘My favorite game was to count how many times I could make Ayla scream while I broke her fingers or I whipped her. Among other things,’ Galian had said. Galian had whipped Ayla. And had done many other things to her. How could he not have known about it? No wonder she looked at him like he was a monster, Galian made her believe that. And he had put his hands on her as well
Frozen Heart (the Heart Series, book 2) Book II - Uzriel - Prologue
Ayla had always loved her garden. Since she was a little girl and her grandmother started teaching her about the power of the healing plants and herbs, Ayla had spent time each day in the garden, tending to it. She grew all kinds of medicinal plants–from embelia, which loved the sun, and served for healing wounds, to swamp-root, which thrived in swamps and was good for lung sicknesses.When the plants were mature, Ayla collected them and gave them to Drax, the Water Mage novice. He used them to make potions, elixirs, or tonics. Some could be applied directly to the wounds or transformed into ointments. Leaves or other parts of plants were dried to be made into teas.While working in the garden, Ayla loved hearing the birds sing while the sun warmed her skin. Butterflies or dragonflies danced between the flowers. Myrthana was, after all, the Kingdom of Everlasting Spring.But for some time, the sun felt cold, as if he hated Ayla. The birds were silent, and even the wind had died. There
Frozen Heart (the Heart Series, book 2) Milton - Myrthana
The once busy roads of the Kingdom of Myrthana were mostly empty. Except for Orcs and mercenaries, almost no one dared travel between towns or villages. The road to Erylas, the capital of Myrthana, was empty except for four riders and their horses. A fifth horse had the carcasses of two deer and some pelts and furs. The riders were dressed simple—trousers, pants, and cloaks. The cloaks were mottled grey, green, and brown. A man with wings was embroidered on the left side of the cloaks—the mark of the Dark God. The riders had the hoods of their cloaks over their heads, and shadows hid their faces. They rode in silence, studying the dusty road or the green forest. One of the riders, the biggest and the strongest, lifted his head and looked at the sky for a few seconds before turning his attention back to the road. He said nothing as he rushed his black horse. The others did the same as they followed his lead. Sometime later, they reached a bridge. Orcs and human mercenaries wearing ar

The mercenary moved his hand higher, and the wench girl was trying to get free from him. The other mercenaries were laughing and shouting words of encouragement, while the Orcs seemed oblivious to what was happening at the table.Eude gripped his fork hard. "We have to do something; else, they will force her all night long!"The Orcs' table was left to those occupied by Rhobart and the Paladins. The King and his men had been studying the mercenaries and Orcs for a while.Rhobart rose from his seat and looked at the mercenary who was touching the wench girl. "We want more mead! Let her go!"The mercenary looked at Rhobart. "Just because you are permitted to travel and hunt doesn't mean you can order me around! Sit down, finish your dinner in silence, and leave!"Milton put his hand in his trousers pocket and grabbed a magic rune. He kept his hand in the pocket.The wench girl looked at Rhobart, "I am used to it now. You shouldn't get into problems because of me.""You heard her!" the m
Frozen Heart (the Heart Series, book 2) Milton - Erylas
Erylas, the capital of Myrthana, was built on a big plateau. A river separated the city from farms, fields, orchards, and the main road. Except for the North-East gate, all the other gates were closed, and the bridges were up. Orcs and mercenaries patrolled in and around Erylas.South of the capital was the most important vineyard of Myrthana. A minor road was behind the last rows of vines of grapes. The road led to a big hill covered by a dense forest of pines. After leaving the cabin from the grove, Drax took Rhobart, Milton, and the Paladins to a forgotten mausoleum built in the heart of the pine forest. Moss and vines covered the mausoleum, and the doors were long gone. Two wolves made from marble guarded the entrance.Drax dismounted his horse and tied the reins close to the mausoleum. The others did the same. Rhobart let Kerra out of his shoulder bag. “What is this place?” he asked, looking at the forgotten place. “A long time ago, Eike, a Son of Earth, and his loyal men fou
