The Runes Universe: Broken Souls (Kindle Worlds Novella)

The battle against the rebel Immortals cost the Witches many lives, and Ivy’s mother was among them. The grief and anger that were born inside her that day, soon turned into a hatred for all Immortals. Instead of finding a way to let go, she nurtured it with time.

A year later, ready to take on the world and filled with excitement about her new adventure, Ivy is finally off to college after being homeschooled her whole life. But the one thing she didn't expect, happened. She attracted the attention of a fighter and his Immortal friend when she inadvertently stumbled into an underground fight.

Dustin grew up being tossed from foster home to foster home and fighting to survive… literally. While his friends ended up turning to crime and drugs, Dustin used his fists and fought for cash instead of stealing. The ring became his release and the one thing in life that made him feel as if he were actually alive.

He vowed he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of the many who came before him. He got a job, took online college classes, and worked his way up in the world. He swore to never let anything get in the way of his plans for success. Until she came along. A pretty girl who didn’t belong in his world, yet he couldn’t get her out of his mind.

Fate has not been kind to these broken souls and it has yet to deal them the final blow. Will they ever be able to find peace within themselves, or will peace come from each other.
