The Girl of Hrusch Avenue

I'm happy to present the first in what I hope will be a series of short stories that take place in the Powder Mage universe and give depth to some of the characters that everyone has come to know and love (though it's not necessary to be familiar with Promise of Blood to enjoy this story).

"The Girl of Hrusch Avenue" is the story of an orphan named Vlora that lives at a boarding school as a ward of the state. Even at her young age, she already has enemies: the Bulldog Twins, Baron Fendamere, and her own headmistress. When a strange man offers to buy her, Vlora runs away and takes to the roofs above the gunsmithies of Hrusch Avenue. It is there that she meets a boy named Taniel and begins a friendship that will change her life forever.
