Esperanza Rising Book Read Online Novels & Stories

“It’s about a girl who finds her voice in a world that wants to silence her.” Sophia had always been someone that loved books so she was filled with joy on this particular day she got the book Sophia had read that book over and over, finding comfort in the pages, realizing that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. These memories, these small moments of kindness and love, were what carried her through the hardest times. And as she stood there, tying her apron, she knew she was stronger than she had ever believed possible. The hiss of the espresso machine and the soft clatter of plates filled the café, but Sophia barely noticed. As she wiped down the counter, her mind drifted—back to afternoons

This woman birthed me, how could she do this to me? “Ren! Happy B...” My father yells from behind us, making me move to see his face. Blood his covering my back and legs at this point. With my mother behind me, he won't see clearly... or at least... I hope he won't. As I twist to see my father, my mother moves the knife to conceal her actions, as always. Instead, suddenly, I feel all the air leave my lungs at once. I feel pressure in my chest and my eyes widen. I begin to lose feeling all over my body. My legs go out from under me, as I hit the grass in the garden of the packhouse. My home. “Wha.... REN!” Dad yells, but it feels as though his voice is far away. I know I am dying, and that’s

***This is Book Six of the Elemental Dragon series. References will be made to events that happened in previous books without being fully explained here. While this book can be read as a standalone, it is recommended that you read the series, starting with The Arena.*** Every time I’m called to rise, I choose a human who is worthy. One whose heart is pure. One who is kind and loving. One who values the lives of others and is willing to give their lives to protect those around them. It has to be a human with these attributes because, while I always rise again, my humans do not.

Esper let out a long yawn as she stretched, watching the soft pinks and purples dancing across the snow. The view was so enchanting and serene. She just sat there, watching it until her stomach let out a loud grumble. "Ugh, alright, breakfast it is." She got up and walked up to her door. Esper had a shocking surprise when she opened her door. Saffron was standing there, her arms folded across her chest, and her foot jutted out, giving Esper a disapproving look.

Even when she was supposed to be training or helping with pack duties, we would find her in a tree somewhere, reading. I picked up one of the books—a worn copy of poetry. LA HISTORIA DE UNA CHICA VAGABUNDA. (THE TALE OF A WANDERING GIRL.) My mother's handwriting in the margins, notes in Spanish I couldn't read because of the tears clouding my vision. "She es smart," grandma continued, tears threatening again. "Qué inteligente. Y terco. Dios mío, so stubborn. Like her father." She smiled through her tears. "Como tú, creo” (Like you, I think.)

I looked up at him, wiped my eyes on the sleeve of my shirt. He moved closer until he was standing right in front of me, our feet nearly touching. He offered me his hand * * * I walk up the beach from Ella’s. I can see the lights from my own house just ahead, not more than two or three hundred feet away. I see that Victory’s bedroom light is off, and I smile to myself, wondering how Esperanza always convinces her to go to sleep without any fuss. I generally wind up lying on the floor of her bedroom, chatting with her quietly as the colored fish from her rotating night-light swim on the walls and ceiling.

I responded hesitantly, feeling my whole body ignite, blood racing through my veins. His hand slid beneath the fabric of my dress, gliding over my skin. Everywhere he touched lit up like sparks catching fire. A shudder ran up my spine, spreading through every inch of me. This feeling was so alien and intense. In my three years with Malcolm, I'd never felt anything like it. Blake's touch carried a raw, primal power. Every brush of his skin against mine seemed to strike a chord deep in my wolfish instincts. It made me tremble, pulled me under, and left me wanting more before I could even think to stop myself.
