Here's a snippet from Exile for your Saturday.
Fun fact: I have had both a reader say this story is "too dark" and a review that said it was "not dark enough" in the last month.
It has dark moments, but I have never marketed it as being dark. Read it and decide for yourself...

Did you know Serpentus can be read as either a standalone/intro to my Relics of War series, OR as a supplement to it?

While I was writing The Caein Legacy, Rynn became one of my favorite side characters. She's an ice mage, and fiercely loyal to those she considers friends.
I redacted the name of the character she's interacting with in this snippet due to spoilers (but iykyk!)

![Rynn's eyes blazed with righteous indignation. She clenched her jaw and loomed over him, unrelenting.
[Redacted] cried out as visible icicles appeared, encasing his arm up to the shoulder.
"I said, you will not touch him." Her voice was a growl filled with unmitigated rage.
"I won't...be bested by a...filthy...mage," [he] spat as he attempted to sit upright.
