Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero. So she did the coming-of-age quest. She saved the kingdom and kissed the farmboy turned King. And when she was done... she went home. She never forgot about her time in Callaria. It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she's back. Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Her actions a decade ago caused ripples that didn't go away when she did. The gawky apprentice wizard she once called a friend is now a cynical Royal Wizard with a penchant for floor length velvet robes and dangerous secrets. Her magic sword is giving her the silent treatment. The evil ruler she thought she defeated is living in the dungeon, making cryptic predictions that sound a little too much like fact. The farmboy turned King...

Clear Your Shit: A Traveler Appears! (Recommended)

Being both physically and emotionally exhausted, we decide to set up camp for the night. I'm not even bothered that we have to sleep on the ground again. I'm still too annoyed at the Wizard and his strange behavior. As we are settling in around the fire a traveler, Sammie, she announces in a chipper tone, pops in from the shadows. I'm a little skeptical and keep my tooth club in reach, but she offers us a book in exchange for a chance to rest for the evening. She thrusts Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler at us and is practically vibrating with excitement. This seems like a fair trade to me and my interest is piqued at how excited she seems so I find a nice place to relax near the firelight to read.
