Present For Today Read online

  It was hanging off its hinges, kicked to pieces in a brutal show of force. The inside of the apartment was no better. The place had been ransacked. Furniture smashed and splintered. Papers strewn about the floor. The mangled remains of Hans were limping towards the heating grate.

  Gabriel sank down to his knees, panting, although he wasn’t out of breath.

  I lost her.

  His eyes flickered in a manic circle around the room. Desperate for any sort of hope. It was then he saw the metal shards upon the floor. The broken remains of a silver rose.

  She’s gone.

Her hunch is confirmed when a horrible incident occurs at an outdoor party. Rouge may be the only one who can find the answer.

  TUDOR COMPARISON:

  Aumbry House—A recess to hold sacred vessels, often found in castle chapels.

  Aumbry House was considered very special to hold the female students - their sacred vessels (especially Rae Kerrigan).

  Joist House—A timber stretched from wall-to-wall to support floorboards.

  Joist House was considered a building of support where the male students could support and help each other.

  Oratory—A private chapel in a house.

  Private education room in the school where the students were able to practice their gifting and improve their skills. Also used as a banquet - dance hall when needed.

  Oriel—A projecting window in a wall; originally a form of porch, often of wood. The original bay windows of the Tudor period. Guilder College majority of windows were oriel.

  Rae often felt her life was being watching through one of these windows. Hence the constant reference to them.

  Refectory—A communal dining hall. Same termed used in Tudor times.

  Scriptorium—A Medieval writing room in which scrolls were also housed.

  Used for English classes and still store some of the older books from the Tudor reign (regarding tatùs).

  Privy Council—Secret council and "arm of the government" similar to the CIA, etc... In Tudor times, the Privy Council was King Henry's board of advisors and helped run the country.

  Did you love Present For Today? Then you should read Never Look Back by W.J. May!

  USA Today Bestselling author, W.J. May, brings you to a new level of fantasy. Fans of Underworld and paranormal worlds will love this story!

  "The wise learn many things from their enemies."

  My name's Atlanta Skolar, and I’m a huntress. No, not the vampire-slaying type, or the ever-brooding Winchester brothers from Supernatural. I live a relatively normal life—during the day at least. I go to school, have friends, and try my best to survive Uncle James’ horrendous cooking.

  However, the nights in the city of Calen are not always calm. There’s a thin veil between our world and t
he world of monsters, the good and the bad. I'm one of the few who stands between the two. With the help of my uncle, who’s taken me in since my parents’ deaths, I spend the nights making sure the balance is maintained and that each side keeps to their respective places.

  At least, that was until something rattled the cages and everything hit the fan. There’s a new evil in town, an evil that's been here before, and it may be responsible for my parents’ deaths. An evil that isn’t satisfied with the balance. It'll do all it can to make sure darkness falls over Calen and the rest of the world once again.

  Scary? That ain't the half of it.

  It’s particularly interested in me.

  Why? No idea.

  But it’s my job as a huntress to make sure the evil is stopped, no matter what.
