    The way Andrew got Aaron off drugs could have killed him. Aaron swore to himself he would never let Andrew find out. This was a promise he needed to keep.

    A few drinks into the night before graduation, he broke it.

    Summary

    Aaron was the protected one, Aaron was the untouchable twin, kept at arm's length or else you'd get stabbed—that was Andrew's control. Even his pre-med classmates knew it: you don’t mess with a Minyard, because if you do, the psychopath will slit your throat. That’s how it was.

    Until it wasn’t.

    Summary

    Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.

    She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.

    She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.

    She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-

    She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.
