She was one of the most prestigious doctors of her country, but one wrong decision would make her live what could be the worst experience of her life.

Summary
They planned a revolution in footnotes and launched it in fire.
For a thousand years, the Nova Marks bowed to a single dynasty of kings, but after a devastating war leaves the kingdom shattered and its heroes scarred, whispers of change stir beneath the smoke and ash.
Winston Somers, the son of a burgess and a bursar and dreamer of republics, forms a secret society hidden behind a dull facade: The Book Club. Its members include soldiers, judges, labourers, bureaucrats, academics, clerics and even a noble. Each one carries ink in their veins and revolution in their hearts.
However, revolutions rarely respect plans. When a careless blab ignites the flame too early, the Book Club must become more than readers of history. They must become its authors.
Ink is spilled. Oaths are broken. And the republic must be forged in iron and from gall … before it becomes ash.
This novella is a series of individual scenes divided into five parts that connect to tell the overarching story.
Series
- Part 1 of Iron, Gall and Ink

Summary
—do you think not that once Eve was made of Adam’s rib that he would wake up, feel around for a missing piece of himself and realise, look up to the heavens and scream for God to do more, to touch him once again, not even if he were awake, to feel him deeper than his body. He has already been penetrated by him once before, and even so it’s not the theft that he finds to be the problem, it’s the fact that God will never touch Adam again

Summary
Then he smiled, slow and easy, with an almost gentle expression. Letting his eyes crinkle with his hand moving to his pocket, the simple position focused on his hip.
"Sweet dreams, dollface.”
“Goodnight, Red.”
She smiled at him. To him.
A soft one, made along the curve of her lips... being enough to drive a lesser man insane.
The very sound of that coy voice reverberated in Sans mind. Desiring nothing more than to simply snag and grasp it tightly.Instead, he gave her a cocky grin, a familiar smirk that belied his whims. He took a final step back and with that he had sent his little lady off, taking his own departure soon as he had arrived.
