Book 2: The Value of a Song

Synopsis
In a world of great kingdoms and fallen empires, of magic and adventure, a group of people will do deeds that will earn them their own song in legends.
Jaden Tarasov of the Twin Horizons is a Lacunai Mystic, able to borrow the power of magical creatures to overcome the challenges life always seem to provide. The magic of the Lacunai came with a price, however. The mystic would eventually become something like the spirit they became bonded to as part of their final trial. Jaden’s father, Garen, smugly shows the signs of his draconic source of power. Jaden, though, was much more reluctant to use the abilities this bond provided. Fate brought change into the life of the young mystic, but change can be a good thing if we let it.
Disclaimer: Just as with the first book, this is a slow moving story where transformation and changes are part of the story, but not the entirety of the story. Things will happen as they will. You are very welcome to explore this world of magic and adventure together with me while we wait for the fun to begin!
Also, to avoid spoilers the themes and elements may not be indicative of the chapter, but of the story as a whole.
While it might not have to be said, this does not take place in medieval Britain, so people will speak according to local customs, not with any historical accuracy. That’s where the Fantasy part comes in!
Of course, all characters appearing in these stories belong to the author, me, and while I love to share them with my readers, I like to keep them. If there is any weird resemblance to living, dead or fictional people, it is all a coincidence (and all in your head!). Thank you!

looking forward to this
I am so looking forward to Jaden and the group's adventures continuing. You write amazingly well and have created a rich interesting world to play and work within. I'm looking forward to the moment when Jaden is discovered as she is now. Hoping it will come willingly but accidents do happen. I'm guessing the most hilarious would be that when Jaden gets around to it, they are all ho hum since they all knew but were letting her keep the pretence up if that was what she needed to function. Anyway, I can't wait to see what really happens. Well Done!

Accidental secrets
"Is there something you'd like to tell us," Mirena asked, placing a hand at her friend's arm.
"Well, you see... I'm... I was the demon-girl all along!" Jaden jumped on top of the table and cackled maniacally.
"Yeah, we already knew that, you silly goose. Now get down from there before you step on the cake!" Oleander smacked Jay on the leg.
"But... but... demon? Rawr?"
Thanks for the kind words :) There'll be a little bit longer between the chapters now, since I haven't already written most of the second book like I had with the first, but I think the chapter-a-week approach will work well.
See you on the next page! :D
You have the next story
You have the next story already written? Wow you're quick...
Eh?
Ah, no. Unlike the first book, which I had mostly written before I began posting, book two is still very much in the works :)
Apologies about the confusion. It will be a few days yet before I post the first part of The Value of a Song.
