“You can’t fall in love with a monster, witch!” My Guardian stood up so suddenly that I flinched. It was one of his old tricks, he’d tried to pull this frequently with me. Whenever I had dared to question my imprisonment or demanded to be let out just so I could see the blue sky […]

“Touch me and you’ll burn, Agnar,” she sniffed, eyes frantically searching for a way out. “I know you are not going to hurt me,” I replied as calmly as I could, holding my sword loosely in my right hand, the steady drip drip of blood that belonged to the now decapitated Guardian’s henchmen loud in

In a parallel universe, the Guardian might have counted as attractive. He was almost taller than Agnar, his shoulders wide and tapering into a narrow waist.

My new life in this country had been a poor one at first. My father had equipped me with enough money to establish a footing, true. But everything else had come from me. I’d scavenged, dug through piles of rubbish people had left by the road and had created this. Turning on the spot in

Lying on my bed, one arm propped under my head, I tried to analyse what had happened today. Once I’d shown Faye to the second bedroom and made sure the windows were still secure, I’d taken my leave. My armour had been waiting for me. It was different from what I’d used in the past.

The barbell had looked too heavy for a regular human to lift. But whoever Agnar was, he was no regular human. His grunt as he’d lifted the impossibly stacked barbell down onto his already bulging pecs had cut through me. I’d watched with rapt attention as he pushed it up, and lowered it again, guiding

Light as feathers and even more beautiful her name landed on the deserted plane that was my heart. A tiny seedling burrowing into the reluctantly fertile soil, waiting for a drop of water to begin its lifecycle ingrained in its very core. “You said your name was Agnar, right?” Pushing her polished plate away from
