Maybe.

She\u2019d managed to escape the not-so-loving attentions of a family who\u2019d rather see her dead than look at her. She had a roof over her head and she didn\u2019t have to fight for every little thing she had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then she finds herself tangled up with a green-eyed witch by the name of Justin. He\u2019s looking for somebody and for some bizarre reason, he seems to think she can help. All she has to do is say no, and she can go back to her safe little existence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s exactly what she needs to do and she knows it. Too bad she\u2019s not very good at following her own advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1122793\">A<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20783975-bladed-magic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dd on Goodreads<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blade-Song-Colbana-Files-Book-ebook\/dp\/B008G0R6GM?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=shilwalk-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=88df263d0e9258e6022b2050888f6cd5&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00FPSCXAW?&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=shilwalk-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=82d5e3e6768785b5e6d9463f6eec1a9c&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/bladed-magic\/id840454904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Books<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/night-blade-jc-daniels\/1113852192?ean=9780615778068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/bladed-magic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kobo<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/J_C_Daniels_Bladed_Magic?id=Gbd3DAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Play<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/419866\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smashwords<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Damon<\/strong> &#8211; #0.7<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/draft-damon-non-patreon.webp?resize=200%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"J.C.
