Escaping A Promise: A Glimpse Behind The Portal Novella

By Machelle Hanleigh

...but what about the people in a child's life and beyond?

Jaren was Kaily's protector from a ruthless father or as much of a protector as a teenage boy could be. His role changed the day Kaily escaped into the night as told in the first novella, Night Escape.

The night Kaily escaped, Jaren was assigned to be personal guard to Makala, Kaily's twin sister. Jaren wanted no part of Makala or her father or anything to do with the world he was born to. He was a kitchen servant, nothing more. He begged Kaily's mother to take him away from that place when she escaped. She didn't. Instead, she elicited a promise from Jaren to remain, be what he was assigned to be, and wait for Kaily's return. Only the fulfillment of his duty at Kaily's greatest time of need would release him from the promise he made to Fiona. Now, all he wanted was to escape his promise.

Escaping A Promise is the second story in the Glimpse Behind the Portal novellas. This collection of novellas pair with the Druidess Trilogy, specifically Druidess Found, the first novel in the groundbreaking, cross genre series, Inhabitants at the Center of the Universe.
