In the starkness of the grey dawn, within the shadows of her heart, Emma hovered above the stone walls in the strength and immensity of her own wings. Palermo was such an ancient city, filled with mysteries.

Wow. I’m late to the party. This was amazing. Do you have a link to the start of the story?
Thank you Alisen! Each is meant to stand alone, and the series is small, mostly known as Time Traveler. There’s also one known as Wolves and Eagles Speaking which is mostly narrative about her adventures. I love writing this way! You can search by using the keyword Emma in my menu bar at the top right of my site. I really do need my children to show how to make links. Thanks again! Peace and wonderful blessings.
Thank you so much. It felt standalone but yet more. I’ll keep reading.
Thanks again! Blessings!
