20 A Girl Who Raised A Dragon, Part 1 Alissa As soon as Elizabeth had used her magic portal to escape, I took my moment and snapped the handcuffs—that they had used on me and Kaitlyn—free from the pillar and falling hard on my stomach. I knew I was still recovering after being revived by Kaitlyn's magic, as I laid stunned for a moment; my body trying to get feeling back relatively quickly. However, the delay was short lived. For as soon as I l crashed Julian and Sophie reacted and raced towards me swinging their swords at me, and I had to duck and dodge each of their swin

22The Girl Who Fell for the Valkyrie, Part IILaurenThis is what I remembered from after the war:The Fae warriors I had been raised around, they were the ones had gone war with the Vikings, who crashed uninvited in our land and went forward with their crusade.The battle between our forces, and theirs lasted for several days, almost seemingly without an end in sight.Each night, I heard their screams, and it haunted me, since I knew that at any moment that those screams could have been my father.

28 When Lines Are Crossed Dimitria Carrying her dead body was bad enough, however even as I struggled through the portal and crossed the spacious, while at the same time, over the top too extravagant dining area of Elizabeth's Lake house mansion—nothing could have prepared me for what could have happened next.
