sorry for taking so long to get to this, uni started again immediately after exams finished, so things have been a bit hectic. back on topic, only doing this for my (3) original works, so i’m doing first paragraphs (or more if they’re short) for the current versions of them.
Legacy Book 1:
Harel was a striking city, even in the early morning winter twilight. It was nestled in a dip high in the mountains, and was half surrounded by said mountains and half by a large wall, on the other side of which was an immense drop. In the winter months, snow was near permanently settled across the city, powdery and light, and wet and heavy by turns. It was relatively well sheltered, and so strong wind rarely breached the walls. The buildings were of gleaming stone and metal and glass, even the most dilapidated of areas were beautiful.
Call Book 1:
Marie was a morning person. Honestly. But that didn’t prevent them from being severely annoyed about being dragged out of bed at four in the morning.
They were woken by their phone blaring, lay there groggily for a second, and promptly had to spend a frantic ten seconds fishing it out from down the side of the bed.
Hidden War Book 1:
In retrospect, taking that shortcut had been one of the stupidest decisions Gabriel had ever made, but, at the time, drunk and in high spirits, they hadn’t thought anything of it.
Neither had Izzy.
Not even Rian, usually oh-so cautious.
Stupid.
Just a trio of stupid teenagers.

And I’m just gonna leave an open tag on this, for anyone who wants to give it a shot! (If you’re wondering if that means you, too, then yes, it does!)
