One by one, I've seen my friends fall in love with the alien warriors on this planet. More than any other single girl on this planet, I want what they have—a mate.

Now that I'm living with the other girls and the barbarian warriors at the Cliffs of Uruzai, I'm finding it hard to adjust. These Sea Sand guys are just so... alien.

Aeron had every opportunity to explain the horses that were haunting my drawings. I asked him several times about his crazy zombie-killing horse.

I don’t know who I’m madder at—Aeron for lying to me or me for just ignoring all the clues and telling myself there was no way it was possible and trusting him.

"Temo di non riuscire a descrivervi le singolari sensazioni che si hanno viaggiando nel tempo: sono eccessivamente spiacevoli.

He sought a space much like the loft he was leaving behind to support his painting, but his agent directed him to a far more conventional home. It was a house that a couple had enjoyed for several decades and, now alone, the matron sought to pass it on to just the right person. Ray had no idea that his purchase would include a tradition that would enrich him in ways that he wouldn’t believe possible.
