Roxy is the only person who knows the truth, and Hazel has gotten used to hiding who she is, but she can’t live a lie with the person she loves most. Can Hazel give up magic to make it work with Elizabeth? Or will she give up on the love of her life instead?

Natural Principles Of Life STORIES Anastomosis Ceremony by Dariusz Gołębiowski (2022)
**Anastomosis Ceremony** The story of the universe is very, very long and extremely interesting. But only the All-Gods know it from the very beginning. They know how and why Natural Being began to exists. OH, yeah! They could tell us some great stories. Unfortunately, they are too old, they are lazy, and perhaps they are simply too tired of a centuries-old existence. Well, it's hard. So we need to have enough knowledge from the last decades of living organisms. The most famous galaxy known to them is: the Milky Way. Earth in the aforementioned part of the Universe, it is one of several places where people live. Besides, this species can also be found on planets: Faron – Ancient System, The Seventh Planet – Keron System. **The following story happened on FARON, a planet in the Ancient System. More or less at the beginning of the earthling 21st century.** " Natural Anastomosis with plants almost always takes place in the formula of a wonderful dance, during which a man "floats" on the stage boards. That's what happened with Quasina. The ritual dance performed by her was a real feast for everyone who had the pleasure of participating in the ceremony. Young woman did not seem to touch the floor at all. Her whole slender and flexible body tried to connect with nature - natural harmony and peace of the surrounding wonderful world. Viewers were delighted with her feminine charm and light, ballet movements. Probably not only people liked this view. Apparently flowers – too. After only a few tens of seconds, the purple rose began leaning toward a wonderful young woman. The others also made a gentle move, but apparently gave preference to a purple colleague. It must be admitted that they fit perfectly together: the purple rose and the dancer. A woman in ritual dance slowly approached a favorable, beautiful rose. The flower, as if performing similar movements, slightly waved in the wind approaching in the direction of the dancer. Great view! And so natural. Suddenly, Mother Nature gave the sign: little clouds ran from the rose and the woman: purple and cream. The clouds went up slightly and at a height of about 2 meters they swirled and turned into an anastomosis. The view was so amazing that a groan of delight and surprise passed through the entire audience. Such a quick anastomosis is rare. It meant that Quasina would have unique abilities and that she would be a great avatar of the rose. Beautiful, colorful clouds, after smoothly combining and mixing, turned into a large ball of multi-colored mist. And this one, rising another few meters up, exploded like a soap bubble bursting when touched by a human hand. Most of the colored haze fell on Quasina and the rose. The rest flew much farther towards the people seated closest to the stage. Seeing this multi-colored spectacle, people almost exploded. They applauded, screamed, cheered, rejoicing in Quasina's happiness. And the dancer? "

Modern Fantasy, Theon's Retribution by Simon Sandell (2022)
Basically Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare set in fantasy. The description reads: "Do you know what it means to be a patriot?" -Semera Where should I begin? Do you ever ask you're self this question: ”Why do I have a hard time reading nowadays?” You know I also had that feeling when reading too, so to have something that catered to my tastes I made this book. To breathy explain the feeling that this book gives. It is sort of a heavy bombastic, yet heavy feeling of sheer brutality. Background: As you can glean from the title this book is a more modern take on the fantasy genre. Featuring gas masks, ghillie suits, grenade launchers, revolvers and nuclear weapons. It perfectly blends the modern and medieval settings to create something incredible. Sort of like the biopunk genre. On to the plot itself: Theon Greyjoy is set out on an epic journey to save his kingdom from multiple adversaries. Chaos ensues as he is tasked with retrieving the artifact to save king Dalon. In the end, he finds himself between 4 ideological and philosophical factions chasing for power. Among the many themes this book explores are faith, loyalty, hope, trauma, conflict and determination. I hope you had as much fun reading it as I had making it!
