This novella will be free on the 10th of each month through October.Falon had never wanted to be a boy. She was content to dream of falling in love with Prince Charming, dancing in silk dresses, and traveling the world like the fair Ladies in her sister's books.But with a faltering estate and the inability to market their family's goods, her sister Christie devised a plan which involved Falon pretending to be a boy so that she could do business in the markets of the local villages.Two years had passed, and the girls had done their best to provide for their siblings while their father's health slowly deteriorated, until he was bedridden and unable to help with managing their meager estate.One day, while walking through the family orchard with her papa's favored war hound, Falon came across a threat to her family's survival. But a four hundred pound, rampaging boar intent on destroying her fruit orchard would quickly become the least of her family's problems.Caught in an impossible situation, Falon must find a way to answer the unlikely call of her Lord. Even having a Witch for a mother is not enough to spare her from the drums of war. But first her family has to get a couple of supply wagons ready.Will she crumble under the enormous pressure, or will she rise to the challenge? less

At the age of fifteen, Falon Rankin had found fitting in with the other boys around the villages of the Two Wicks to be difficult...mostly because she was actually a girl pretending to be a boy! So she did her best to avoid them except at market day, when she had no choice.But one fateful day in her family's orchard sets her feet on a path she could have never expected... moreAt the age of fifteen, Falon Rankin had found fitting in with the other boys around the villages of the Two Wicks to be difficult...mostly because she was actually a girl pretending to be a boy! So she did her best to avoid them except at market day, when she had no choice.But one fateful day in her family's orchard sets her feet on a path she could have never expected. With the distant beating of war drums, the only member of her family who can answer their call is her -- and to do so, she must continue her charade of being a boy, in order to protect the future of her family.The challenges before her appear insurmountable, and it seems that understanding the strange behavior and social structure of the men surrounding her will strain her to the very limits -- but that will soon become the least of her problems.The warpath is filled with mud, blood, and testosterone which all-too-often overcomes common sense...will Falon survive long enough to set foot on the field of battle? And even if she does, what hope does a fifteen year old girl have against trained Battle Knights, Cavalry charges, and the prying eyes of her militia camp?This tale could be nothing more than the ignominious end of a fifteen year old girl, on a battlefield far from home...or it could be the beginning of a magical adventure which she could only hope to read about in her sister's books! less

Having won a battle and survived the Flower War all she wanted to do was to go home and be with her family and maybe, if she could swing it, pick up a nice dress or three for her sisters from her share of the Pink Princess's loot... moreHaving won a battle and survived the Flower War all she wanted to do was to go home and be with her family and maybe, if she could swing it, pick up a nice dress or three for her sisters from her share of the Pink Princess's loot.

That means that when the drums of feudal duty once again start to beat its time to woman up and go out to do a man's job. But with all her friends and neighbors about to go home, after a job well done, and with a single sack of gold from the Captain as a sign on bonus, she somehow has to recruit the Fighting Swans back up to size.

Before she knows it the young girl from Two Wicks, who never thought she'd leave her home, is in over her head. Caught up in machinations of Princes and Barons and in the cross fire between Shamans and Wizards, somehow she has maintain her position as an Officer and a Gentleman while leading her half of the battalion. The impoverished, poorly equipped half and if she fails the price could be more than she can bear. Find out what happens in the next exciting adventure of The Witch Guard Series. less
