peace and quiet

I hope he knows what flowers he wants at his funeral

a cottage full of vines + old books , what a dream 🌿

The book town of Bredevoort, the Netherlands

Good Morning Everyone! Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.

“You are Korte Marshel and you live in the city of Chort as Marshal. One day your best friend, Kurt Martial, is ordered by a court-martial to be court-martialled for murdering a girl he was courting, Courtney Marcell. You need to make sure he’s caught before he flees to Quart in Marseilles.”

When life just doesn't make sense.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Halla has unexpectedly inherited the estate of a wealthy uncle. Unfortunately, she is also saddled with money-hungry relatives full of devious plans for how to wrest the inheritance away from her.

While locked in her bedroom, Halla inspects the ancient sword that's been collecting dust on the wall since before she moved in. Out of desperation, she unsheathes it—and suddenly a man appears. His name is Sarkis, and he is an immortal warrior trapped in a prison of enchanted steel.

Sarkis is sworn to protect whoever wields the sword, and for Halla—a most unusual wielder—he finds himself fending off not grand armies and deadly assassins but instead everything from kindly-seeming bandits to roving inquisitors to her own in-laws. But as Halla and Sarkis grow closer, they overlook the biggest threat of all—the sword itself.
