Dr. Ranier Blood’s Arc
Court-appointed therapy doesn’t go quite the way Rapunzel thought it would.
Re: Dr. Ranier Blood; The KinRead Now
Rumors of her appear in the news, but who can credit tales of a pale little girl freezing things with a single, bloodied touch?
Re: Dr. Ranier Blood; The KinRead Now
“This is your test,” she says, and to my dismay, her voice carries the tinny echo of magic, a compelling power.
Not the usual conversation one has upon entering a magical psychologist’s office.

Stories of the Night Children
Notte thought to hide from the world, to punish himself by being alone.
The world – including a power-hungry emperor – has other ideas.
Re: Notte; Ahmose; The Ever-Dying; The Night-ChildrenRead Now
He’d always painted what he saw; these visions pushed him, bled out his eyes, and the only cure for augural blindness was to splatter it out in colors, shapes, forms.
Re: Jonathan; Seishirou; Ravena; Notte; The Night-ChildrenRead Now
Years ago, Seishirou chose to disobey his maker for the sake of love. Years ago, Seishirou’s love knew exactly how it would play out. Today, the bill comes due – but that isn’t the end of his story.
Re: Seishirou; Ravena; Jonathan; NotteRead Now
He got away with it all. In the end, it was the damned cows that caught him.
Re: Terrance; Notte; The Night-ChildrenRead Now

“It is always time for extinction,” he says, but drops his gaze. And I know that for a time, a short time, a too-brief pause, I’ve won.
Re: The Guardians; The Night-Children; Notte; AdamRead Now
Flappers. Vampires. A thug who stole a necklace and a speak-easy with Jazz to die for.
Re: Salome; Notte; the Night-ChildrenRead Now
He can’t stop killing. He can’t be killed. After the events of Half-Shell Prophecies, Joshua finds himself adrift – and in the grip of the Beast.
Re: Joshua Run; Notte; the Night-ChildrenRead Now
Strange children. Strange costumes. A strange night, all around, with an unexpected party.
Re: Joshua Run; Notte; Terrance; Alex; Grey; Jonathan Sumeragi; the Night-Children; the Fey; the Kin; the Guardians; the Ever-DyingRead Now
I do not wish to be be the Blood King, Nox Aeterna, Lord of the Night Whispers. I wish to simply be Night, bearing the burden for nobody – alone, communing with the wind and underestimating the freedom that comes from loneliness. But these are selfish thoughts, and that is not my role.
Re: The Night-Children; Notte; Terrance; The Ever-DyingRead Now

Re: The Night-Children; Notte; Joshua RunRead Now

The damned Throne takes my magic, stealing every last drop from birth to death. Rebellion is not rewarded, not even when you’re the heir.
Re: Grey; Mab; The Fey; The ThroneRead Now
Before me stands the bedraggled crown prince of the Unseelie Fey. I pretend I do not see how desperately he hoped I’d invite him, and he pretends that he does not have bits of twig sticking out of his hair.
Re: Grey; Notte; The Fey; Terrance; The Night-ChildrenRead Now
Aiden smiled. “What can I do for you, my friend?” he said, and waggled a finger. “Be sure, it will cost you.”
No, It wouldn’t.
Re: The Fey; AidenRead Now
A fascination with human Halloween. A terrible destiny. A strange night of monsters, magic, and too much candy.
Re: The Fey; Grey; Terrance; Marshall; The Night-Children; Matt; the DarknessRead Now

Re: Red; The Ever-DyingRead Now
“You eat it,” said the Observer in that tone that could either be encouraging or mocking.
“Why?” said Death, and picked up a sausage. Grease oozed between his fingers and ran down his thumb.
