Lord Morgorth lived a calm life on the outskirts of Happy Valley. His castle was situated between two empires, and occasionally a knight would show up and challenge him. Still he was bored. After returning home from a trip, he discovers that another mage had tried to enter his castle. This slightly angered and amused Morgorth--who would dare try to steal from him? Aishe was on a mission--to kill the mage that slaughtered his village for a powerful stone. He aligns himself with Morgorth, and they begin their hunt of a the destructive magical object.
The story was very well written with a lot of description. The author builds an elaborate world and sucks the reader into it. The romance between Aishe and Morgorth is very shaky, but finally cements itself in the end. Watching Aishe fulfill his duty and Morgorth learn to love made the book even more interesting. Overall, Ruby: Lost and Found is a wonderful book for those that like a little love with their magic.

Ivriah, a powerful battle mage had just returned home after combat. Despite being exhausted and covered in blood, he decided to use the sigil in his room to summon a demon to service his baser needs. Same-sex coupling was illegal in Islafar, and if found out, he would be severely punished. When the demon arrived, it turned out to be the demon he usually summoned in battle, Orajin. He was fast and had great fighting skills but was not the demon he summoned for this task. Through his exhaustion he had made a mistake with the summoning spell, and they were now locked in a contract they could do nothing to escape.
For such a short story this has an interesting plot and likeable characters. There is one scene that involves a bit of torture that may be too intense for some readers. Overall a good read.
