《The Red Snowman》The Dance of The Dead
Advertisement
'Welcome to The Dance of the Dead' – It was a greeting written in white letters on a wide, red banner – in the language unknown to any of the visitors.
Pale sand, turquoise waters, vermillions palm trees, and bushes. It was a tranquil night.
The guests entered, one after one, and occupied chairs next to round tables under large umbrellas. They were all sitting alone, until the full moon.
Everybody looked at the waves that were crashing at the shore, with uncanny longing.
Bells started to ring and corpses were carried by the waters to the beach.
A service staff appeared on both sides of the beach. Males were wearing red suits and women were wearing green hooded robes. They started walking in lines towards the corpses and knelt next to them.
The men were sewing ruined body parts together or putting together skeletons, while ladies were applying ointments. At last, when the corpse was ready, it received a talisman.
As the talisman touched the first skeleton, it was brought back to life and approached its table.
"Miriad?" - A woman at the table covered her mouth with her gloves and cried happy tears.
The skeleton couldn't speak, but it extended his hand to the girl and invited it to dance.
One after another, all of the guests joined the ball.

Battlesquire Book I - First Blood
There was nothing Jess craved more than the rush of battle, having trained for endless hours in mastering all the weapons of war. She would do anything to prove herself worthy, anything to be granted the rights and privileges of every knight who fought for the Crown. Anything not to be relegated to the status of simpering handmaiden, a wallflower at court whose only purpose was to be meek and demure for the pleasure of arrogant men she despised. When a certain professor of etiquette makes it clear that she would see Jess broken and humbled, forced to submit to a lady's proper role, Jess will do whatever she must to escape that fate. Even if it means blackening her dagger for king and country, learning what it truly means to be a Squire of War. (Warning: Though it starts off gently - sex, graphic violence, heroism, and betrayal are all part of the story.)
