“The Hunter, Hunted” by Nicola Niemc

Content warning: implied sexual content, abuse The slave-girl came from the pleasure markets of southern Crvepísek – the land of rust and sand, where even the sky reflected the red soil that gave the place its name. So it was unsurprising that a pair of hyacinth-blue eyes should catch Lord Deofenn’s wandering attention. He brought her for half a dozen gwaneths, the sum almost insulting to a man of his wealth. As Deofenn accepted the heavy iron chain from the hands of the slave-master, he noticed that the girl’s neck was chafed and bleedi...

“Ladybird and the Carver” by Nicola Niemc

Submitted to Contest #87

In a long-since forgotten world, there lived a lord, his lady and their two young children. They had a son, with the dusky blue eyes of a bird’s egg and hair as messy as a nest of last year – he was called Robin; and a daughter with red apples in her cheeks and the brightest, blackest eyes you could imagine, named Ladybird.The lord and his lady were rather careless of the old gods, and they frequently forgot or did not bother to make an offering of the grain they reaped or the animals they slaughtered. Eventually, one of the most ancient an...

Author bio

📚 🐱 Author of Addicted to Love and Tangerine Seventeen 🐱 📚 www.nicolaniemc.com Nicola Niemc began writing Tangerine Seventeen in her early twenties, along with a now-abandoned tale of time-travel and sorcery (maybe, one day...). She was encouraged to continue Tangerine by a few select individuals in the office she worked in before the idea behind Addicted to Love began to take root. She has now returned to her first love of medieval-style sorcery, with a dash of forbidden romance thrown in. Visit her website for more clues as to where this may yet lead... Influences: David Bowie, for making it ok to be freaky. Robert Palmer – the inspiration behind ‘Addicted’, and the one who gave me unrealistic expectations of what a gentleman should be like. Richard Brautigan, for glass coffins, watermelon sugar and the freedom to write crazy, if that’s what your mind is telling you to. Do I have a hunch about what I’m talking about? No, it’s just the way my coat rides up at the back.
