The Books Of Esther Novels & Stories

“We name our children different here, sweetie. Though it’s true Esther does mean star, and a star is a thing, I’m named for a person. Esther was a queen in the Bible. You must know what the Bible is ‘cause Adam told us he chose his name after the first man.” Rain remembered the conversation she’d had with Adam when he’d chosen his name. The book he was talking about--that was this Bible Esther was speaking of? “I didn’t realize it was a famous book.” “Probably the most famous book ever written,” Esther replied. “Maybe someday, when you get to the Nation of Quebec, you’ll have a chance to read it.”

Yet at the same time I couldn’t stop myself, I flipped open the cover, my hungry eyes gazing at the pages before me. It was written in Latin, but luckily, I was proficient in my Latin being a warlock. The date on the very first page struck me right away, it was a mere year before Esther was made immortal.

He had the file open, but he slammed it shut and cursed loudly before he pushed the file back and angrily got on his feet.

Ynna, his servant, was being served differently. I wish there was no servant either, but Estrebelle doesn't want to leave and I'm getting a little used to her always being there to help me. I lay down on the wide bed but didn't fall asleep right away so I reached for a book there that wasn't too thick. It is entitled Homer's Odyssey. The title of the book is unfamiliar to me but based on its appearance it is not like the books I am used to here at Wysteria. It's a hardbound book with a coat and its title is gold.
