WIP: The Curse of Broken Shadows

You've heard me talk about knife flirting for a while now, but how about... sword/magic fight flirting! In case you've forgotten this is an enemies to lovers epic fantasy...

love at first s(word f)ight


Slowly, she rose to her feet, eyes locked on his hand. “You are…” Her head snapped to the left. “Cason,” she hissed.

He was at her side a moment later. “I hear it.”

Bodies moving silently, surrounding them. A few less than a dozen heartbeats, and steady ones. Trained. Add in the smell penetrating the dangerously dark mist… magic. 

“Eight,” he whispered, eyes scanning the dense fog. “Earth-blessed strength, two with fire and water, and one shield.”

Brela snorted and drew Night Carver with trembling fingers. “At least they’ll give us a good challenge.”

“Brela, you’re—“

“If you tell me I’m in no shape to fight, I will stab you.”

Cason grumbled and drew his sword. “And if you get killed because you can’t stand steady on two legs, I’ll stab you right back.”

“There he is, my dragon.” She flashed her teeth in a feral smile before pressing her back to his. “Perhaps I’ll finally see how that fire really burns.”

He didn’t have time to question her when her first blade flew.

I'm taking a bit of a vacation this weekend but I'll be back next week on a mission. I've got some new books to plot out and a little bit of magic to sprinkle over my work before I come at you with some big announcements.


What are some books you're loving right now? I've got an ARC read coming soon that I'm pretty excited about, which means I need to keep myself entertained until then. Let me know some of your favorites! Bonus points for indie books with fantasy and lgbt+ rep!


Some readers have had trouble responding to this email (it is sent by my mailing server) so if your reply has been sent back, make sure you're sending the email to author.laurawinter@gmail.com


Sending you love, kindness, and peace for wherever you are right now.
