Ruins Dust Sans

—Donde hay lobos, hay guerra. Dejando que una sonrisa de satisfacción se dibujara en la comisura de mis labios, miré a la única persona que lentamente había capturado mi corazón: —Puede que sea así... pero va a ocurrir bajo mis condiciones. Corría el año 1952 y a Ashford Wells, de dieciocho años, sólo le quedaba un tortuoso año más en el instituto del Sagrado Corazón. Sólo un año más hasta que pueda abandonar la ciudad de Lonton, y el imposible legado de su padre de ser un Alfa de la manada. Intentando mantener la calma y agachar la cabeza, Ash también tendrá que ignorar las burlas de deportistas como David Hunt, que le dicen que es un bicho raro sin casta.El único problema con las ideas de Ash de abandonar Lonton es que el hombre del saco y rebelde en general, Kenny O'Rourke, tiene una idea diferente de cómo será el futuro de Ash. Una idea que va a sacudir los cimientos de Dustland. "Los lobos de Dustland" es una obra de Claire Wilkins, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

War. War is all we know. War for peace, war to take, war to protect. War for resources. It is impossible to avoid war because your neighbors won’t. If you are perceived as weak, you will be targeted. Your land and wealth stolen, your people killed, sons enslaved and daughters raped. To survive in this world, more important than oxygen; is strength and a cold heart. The only source of strength are mana veins. He who owns mana veins has the right to live and the right to rule. He who owns mana veins better have the strength to keep it or long life is but a pipe dream. Xasha hated war. War had taken everything from him and gave nothing in return. He hated that all wars were over petty things like pride and pocket change. He always looked to the vast wilderness with longing. He wondered why all the warmongers hadn’t turned their spears there. Where vast lands and untapped wealth were. Once he became a father. Xasha, the naïve, knowledge-loving merchant, decided he did not want his child growing up in the same world he did. He decided to change the world, end all war and unite the abandoned region. How will he do it? By starting a war, a war that will end all wars. Not a war with his neighbors over pride or a few mana veins. No. He will rage against the wilderness and the world beyond.

I'm a dreamer.... I have been dreaming about my best friend for as long as I can remember..... A first kiss has been saved for him.... Now I am 21 years old with secrets and a fake world around me. Can I keep it all from crumbling down? Can I keep the past where it belongs?

My mother fell critically ill and was rushed to the hospital. Desperate, I knelt before my fiancé—the department's chief surgeon—and begged him to take charge of her operation. But outside the ICU, he was carefully tending to a scraped knee. Lucy Wendell's scraped knee, to be exact. Just as I was drowning in hopelessness, Cameron Mitchell—the hospital director and my childhood friend—pushed open the operating room doors and handed me a marriage proposal. "Marry me, and I'll personally perform your mother's surgery." With trembling hands, I signed my name, clinging to the last shred of hope that she could be saved. But she never made it through that stormy night. Cameron handled all the funeral arrangements himself, and our wedding proceeded as scheduled. Seven years later, in the hushed silence of the hospital archives, I overheard Cameron speaking with the deputy director. "Cameron, why did you transfer your mother-in-law's organ to Lucy's mother during that surgery? Weren't you afraid of getting caught?" "I owed Lucy," he replied. "If I hadn't hesitated back then, Lucy never would've chosen medical aid work in Africa… and her mother wouldn't have fallen ill from the grief."

Mais quand il s’est enfin réveillé, elle est tombée sur un message ambigu sur téléphone de son mari... Son premier amour, était de retour. Ses amis, qui l’ont toujours méprisée, s’en sont aussitôt moqués : « La princesse est de retour, il est temps d’éjecter la remplaçante. » C’est là que Nina a compris. Louis ne l’avait jamais aimée.
