I start to row the boat back, curious about the sudden change, but the hull bounces off with a thunk, the dome glowing at the point of impact. The fuck? Leaning over the edge, I bang my fist against the magic wall and receive the same result.

A loud crack suddenly rings through the air, right before the light of the dome flickers, and then fades entirely. A second later, it’s back, but instead of green, the color is a dark, almost sinister-looking red. No one ever mentioned anything about it changing colors.

The city of Manamequohi under a red dome, from the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic N. Ashen.

The city of Manamequohi under a red dome, from the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic N. Ashen.

I look behind me as I row, trying to find lights on the coast that will point me toward Lorana. Up ahead, a glowing green line sits on the surface of the waterβ€”the border of the city's security dome. As my boat passes through it, I’m bathed in the dome’s green glow, normally invisible on the inside.

He slams it into the wall, and it crumples into a pile of bones. Before the second skeleton can finish turning around, he gives a solid kick to its ribcage, forcing it to do the same. He quickly kneels and drives the hilt of his sword into the skull, shattering it and freeing my sword.

Even I want to scream when it hisses at me menacingly, striking out with my sword in a panicβ€”and lodging it firmly in its skull. I try to shake it loose but only succeed in losing my grip as the undead creature screeches in anger. I’m actually scared, at least until Khazak rushes in.

It’s only when I get closer that I see that these assailants are much bonier than I’m used to dealing with. Skeletons. They’re all fucking skeletons!

I skid to a halt as one of them turns their skull toward me, its red glowing eyes staring right at me.

β€œOver there!” I point ahead with a shout, already running toward someone in trouble.

I spot a man being backed into a wall by two assailants, one of them menacingly swinging a rope lasso above their head.

A promo for Dominic N. Ashen's book Ours, showing three young men from the neck down, with two of them holding onto the arms of the third possessively. The promo reads: "Cory is just your average 18-year-old nerd who plays video games and reads comic books. Well, mostly average - he’s also gay, in the closet, and into some pretty kinky stuff. But with college right around the corner, he figures his secret is safe… Right?

Wrong, because Cory’s two best friends, Derek and Nic, recently found out about that secret. And just like a lot of teenage boys, they're going to think with their groins first. With the internet as their guide, they decide to train Cory into becoming their personal submissive plaything.

Though none of them expect it, they just might discover that romance can bloom in the most unexpected of places.

Until his two best friends find out and decide to take advantage of the situation.
