Defending Broken Isles Novels & Stories

“Nobody would think badly of you for having feelings for another woman, you know? It is only natural. It has been a long time since you lost Isla. I know it still hurts. We all still miss her too. But, being alone forever doesn’t have to be the way you live your life.” I looked across at the brother of my lost mate, and I hated him all the more. How dare he imply I had feelings for the new girl. I was simply protecting her from his womanizing ways. He was a ladies' man and always had been. Ever since Isla’s Mum had moved here once her husband had died, to be closer to where Isla had been. To make a fresh start after the loss. Bringing her warrior son with her. Who had worked his way up the r

At centre rose the ruined tower wrapped in thickest vines, blue‑white light streaming brightest from its top: true heart of island. Selena read slowly. “I repeated exactly the mistake that destroyed them,” she said trembling. “Tried beating you… and fed shadows instead.” Lea rested hand gently upon hers. “I thought rivalry made strength but it tears you apart.” Later we moved deeper toward the heartland, and soon felt new trouble: food became very scarce. Trees bore hardly anything; bushes stood empty; even small animals hid far away. “Island prepares for storm,” Kael said softly. “Nature pulls back its gifts beforehand.”

With nowhere to direct his rage, Dylan kicked the shelf in the corner over. He scanned the empty quarter as a sense of dread overtook him. “Sarah… “I hope she isn’t trying to do anything drastic…” Dylan smashed the window. The broken shards flew everywhere, cutting his arm.

She survived five years on a remote island, only to be reduced to a servant upon her return.

"Your island is worth over two billion. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?" I glanced coldly at Xena, who was cowering behind Orion. "If you can't afford it, then stop sticking up for her. Xena, tell me honestly, where's the money from selling the island?" Xena shrank back, tears welling up in her eyes, but she still spoke with a self-righteous tone, "That island wasn't just yours. Why should I give you the money?" Infuriated by her shamelessness, I raised my hand and slapped her again. "If it’s not mine, then does it belong to you, you thief?"

"It means you're human. But it also means I don't know if I can ever close my eyes around you again." The heavy, painful truth hung in the pressurized air between them. The impenetrable architect of Genesis Island had finally been stripped of her walls, and the loyal soldier had finally realized the depth of his chains. They were two broken people trapped in a tin can at the bottom of the ocean, bound together by trauma and a shattered trust that might never be repaired.

"Already on it," he replied, his fingers flying across the holographic interface. I looked back at the troops. "We don't go there for glory. We go there for blood. We go there for the home they stole. Tonight, Goma Island returns to its rightful owners." The hangar erupted, not in a cheer, but in the terrifying, rhythmic clas

The broken void began to recover under the repair of the magical power. The world became clear again. The sky was blue and the sea was calm. The slowly falling sunset dyed the sea red. At this moment, streams of light shot out from the island hovering above the sea. On the jade platform of Immortal Island, Jessica, Yvonne Johnson, Maisie Pine, Xander Faris, and the others stood aside. From time to time, they would look at Caspian and Xiao Pei, who were several miles away.

The news flickered on. Specials Break Peace The screen flashed below the anchor woman. Specials break peace I read to myself again. “Turn it up Micheal” I ordered. He rolled his eyes but obliged. “Peace has been held for 15 years and today an extremely dangerous special broke it. We are unaware what caused the incident to spark.
