A slick story about fighting fantastic creatures against one another. Available online.
Back when Julius Ceasar ruled the Roman Empire, gladiator games were all the rage. Humans – usually criminals – fought with wild animals for the cheap entertainment of an audience that cared far more for a “good show”, than the lives lost and bloodshed.This story is a gladiatorial game with mytholog...
Lena’s not your typical animal trainer. And when she and her unicorn partner, Steve, decide to enter a fight, it’s definitely not your typical fight…...you had me at "her unicorn partner, Steve".This is a quick and quirky story set in the world of [b:Hold Me Closer, Necromancer|8041873|Hold Me Close...

I just made a "unicorns" shelf because of this short story ... And now I feel like I should've come across books with unicorns before now and the fact that I haven't seems like a shame. This is a free short story that's under 20 pages and was something fun to read when I had a bit of downtime. You c...
