Two stories on either side of a war, a time of gifts and celebration, no matter how grave the reality. A tyrant and his apprentice, a leader and his lover. Both sides have a story to tell. ______________________ This is a short book that holds two short stories specially written for this year's Christmas! Based off of my Wake of the Dead series, which you can find a list for on my profile. There won't be any super big spoilers so don't feel the need to go read all of those books before this one. This is just for the general enjoyment of my current audience and to spread some holiday cheer! Since mock websites are becoming more common, a disclaimer is necessary. This will only be written and available to read on Wattpad, any other websites copying my work could make your device vulnerable to malware.
