This is a collection of bonus scenes I've written over the years. Some are part of later books in the series. Some short stories are simply 'What If' scenarios. Some moments are scenes that happen off-the-page if you will. I thought that I'd share these bonus scenes from the series 'Of Crows and Thorns' - only for a short while. So read them before they disappear in early January 2024. Happy Holiday Season!Ava xoxo…
