Lucilla - a novella is now available in paperback
.jpg)
"It was just another standard day at the Women’s Refuge until the
arrival of Lucilla. Then Miranda’s world was never the same again.
Unaccountably
influenced by what the girl needed, her job, her friendships, even
freedom itself were of no importance. It was not until her niece’s life
was at risk that Miranda knew she had to act.
But what could she do against someone who had such a tight, insidious grip on her?"

In the past we have received a number of stories that may be fantasy but are not swords and sorcery. If you are unsure what it is, why not get a better idea by checking out volumes 1 - 6. Saying that, swords and sorcery is a broad genre and we are more than willing to consider stories that stretch its limits, as we have in the past.
