On her bed, between the spider-silk sheets, lay a breathtakingly beautiful male Shaeravyn. He was naked, with shimmering purple skin, well-proportioned muscles and long silver hair. Next to him was an equally naked woman and the messages braided in her lavender hair made Shaelith blush. Both of them looked up expectantly. "Luminous Shaelith," the man purred, rose up on one elbow and let his muscles flex in the soft glow of the mushrooms. "Happy Birthday! We are your present." Despite the moss…-

Chapter 3 – A Strange Childhood
"Hold still, Shaelith." The servant pulled another purple strand through the complicated weave. "Almost done." Jacob sat motionless on the padded stool and watched in the mirror as his hair was woven into messages. House Vyrnara above all others. Daughter of the Matriarch. Studies Sorcery. Virgin. The list went on with an incredible amount of information about a seven-year-old child, even a seven-year-old elf child, but he had no control over it. At his apparent age, others decided what his hairstyle…-

Chapter 5 – Emergency Session
"No, Araphylle, the third line must curve inwards." Jacob corrected the shaky line of Mycelial ink on the girl's forearm with a stroke of his finger. "Think of it like a funnel that catches light." Eight little faces of Vyrnara girls stared at him, their purple foreheads in identical wrinkles of effort. The youngest was just six, the oldest ten. All of them were in various stages of 'I-want-to-be-a-powerful-sorceress' fever. They're so god damn cute. Jacob suppressed a smile. Just like me back then.…-

Chapter 7 – Birthday Eve
His mother's words still echoed in Jacob's head, three days after they had fallen. Grow up, Shaelith. Soon. Tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday, or rather, Shaelith's eighteenth birthday. The date was basically meaningless to the Shaeravyn, but eighteen years in this body, as Shaelith, was a strange milestone for him. It took some effort to push those thoughts aside to concentrate on more practical concerns. The birthday banquet tomorrow was largely a purely political event. Too his great relief…-

Chapter 1 – Drowning
For eighteen years, it was Jacob Williams' ironclad principle to stay out of trouble. That principle died with him on a rainy April afternoon beneath the surface of cold-ass Lake Whothefuckcares. But of course, Jacob Williams didn't know that when he got up that morning. Strictly speaking, he didn't have any thoughts in his head, which was still foggy from sleep, but only felt a general disgust at the early ringing of the alarm clock as he pulled on his gray T-shirt. The shirt was the product of careful…-

The armored figure stepped fully into the light and the massive macesparked on the stone floor. Up close, the crimson armor seemed to pulse with a heartbeat of its own, as if it had not been forged but grown from coagulated blood. "The Princess and-" The voice sounded almost bored, but beneath it lurked something unsteady, almost crazy, like a string that had been stretched too tight. "Aah, how interesting. The Hero. Both already in one place." "Ha! He knows me!" Benderast grinned broadly. "Seems…

Chapter 6 – The Presentation
When they could see again, the purple fire fizzled out with a final, defiant hiss against Jacob's protective shield and the corridor smelled of the burnt mycelium of the smoldering walls. Amateur. Whoever wants me dead definitely paid too much for this lousy job. House retainer Haeliz, who had been a part of Shaelith's escort, lay in a spreading pool of blood. A crystal shard from one of the goblets the supposed servant carried had been caught in the blast and severed his carotid artery. A quick…-

Chapter 10 – The Ambush
The first arrows struck them like a hailstorm full of sharp teeth. Shaelith reacted instinctively, activated her defensive glyphs and just the blink of an eye later purple energy danced across her skin and formed a shimmering barrier around them. "Shields up!" the guard captain yelled, but his order came a second too late. One of the arrows with the strange glowing crimson runes managed to penetrate the magical shield and a Shaeravyn guard staggered back while staring in disbelief at the shaft sticking…-

Chapter 11 – Caged
Shaelith didn't know how long they had marched them, stumbling, until they arrived at the goblin lair. It felt like days. The world seemed to consist of nothing but musty darkness and the stench of unwashed goblin bodies. Shaelith stumbled forward, blind beneath the stinking sack, her bare feet slipping over damp ground.The background noise around her was overwhelming, hundreds of goblin voices screeching, laughing, arguing with each other. Somewhere, meat sizzled over an open fire, the smell mingling…-

Chapter 14 – The Long Road Home
The first thing Shaelith noticed was the unfamiliar smell. No sweet mushroom scent, no phosphorescent spores, but pine scent and damp forest soil instead. A rough blanket scratched against her skin. Right. Still not home. She tried to sit up and that proved to be a mistake. The world tilted to one side, and her stomach immediately rebelled.Mana exhaustion. The aftereffects were almost worse than a proper moss wine hangover. They had set up a makeshift camp.The rescued women huddled together in small…-
