She squinted, bringing cheese, meat, and a scrap of fabric into focus. Pieces of bread littered the ground near a far bush. Rubbing her sore hip, she allowed her gaze to wander. So hallucination was the next logical step, right? She must have cracked her head pretty hard. She arched her back and then leaned to the side to stretch. Her muscles tightened, screaming in protest. “Whaa …” She fingered the knot growing on her head. Tiny, fluffy birds fluttered along the sunbeams, their merry tunes lending more credibility to her insanity. Sunlight streamed through slits in the canopy of leaves above. Vibrant bushes dotted with red flecks swayed with the wind. Her heart hammered into her ribs, and her eyes widened.Ī wooden grove encircled her. She swatted at it, clearing away flecks of dirt. Rubbing the back of her throbbing head, she blinked until squashed blades of green grass came into view. Hair tickled her face, and she pushed it out of the way, propping herself up with the other arm. The twittering of birds tugged at Kam’s consciousness. But more than her own future will be in jeopardy if Kamryn doesn’t succeed. Those would’ve been great facts to know ahead of time.Ĭonsidering that nothing in Ur is what it seems, the mission proves to be more than she ever imagined. Or that her heart would rip in two when she left. Or that, by helping her, the cute storyteller would go crazy. No one thought to warn her of a jealous queen and her dragon minions. So when the Oracle hands her a different quest, she takes it on the condition he sends her home afterward. Even her artistic side can’t help but breathe in the beautiful wonder and magic of this new world. Yet the longer she’s in the Land of Ur, the harder it is not to feel for the people she meets. Home is the mission-to return to her family and pursue her life’s dream of art and travel. And that’s before the storyteller’s breath brings stories to life. Within minutes of her arrival, she dodges an archer’s arrow and avoids getting sliced up by a cosplay reject holding a dagger to her throat. Now, Kamryn Kensington finds herself in a strange new world.
