BLURB:
A Lady is dead. Her noble line ended. And the King’s Reaper has come to
reclaim her land and her home. In the marches of Aedaron, only one thing is for
certain. All keeps of the old world must fall.
Elinor
struggles to find her place in the new world. She once dreamed of great things.
Of becoming a hero in the ways of the old world. But now she is a Reaper. And
her duty is clear. Destroy the old. Herald the new.
EXCERPT:
The girl put a hand on his shoulder. Her voice was
low. “Whatever happens next. You mustn’t move.”
And then the ground underneath the horse exploded
upward and a pale white form the size of a wagon erupted into the air. The
horse let out a scream that turned into a wet gurgle as white writhing
tentacles enveloped the animal. The copper tang of blood filled the air and
Conbert felt his stomach lurch.
He thought to go for the sword he carried at his
side but he saw the girl’s eyes.
He held himself still as another of the creatures
breached the drowning grass. It was a huge mass of rippling white flesh, except
at the front where the mouth opened like an exposed wound. Massive tearing
fangs lined the pink maw, and white tentacles writhed from the worm's throat,
seeking the remnants of the thrashing horse. The two monsters tore the horse
apart in seconds, powerful tentacles flaying meat from bone with horrific
efficiency.
As the rendworms began to slide across the ground
in their direction, Con felt a terror urging him to run. He fought against it,
trying to focus instead on the perfect stillness of the young girl. The huge
worms slid past them.
And then as Con held his breath, the girl moved.
The young cadet was fast and sure as she darted
forward. She struck out with the mace, swinging it with both hands, and
smashing it into the rendworm’s side. There was a loud crack, and Con knew that
somewhere inside the sinuous horror a bone had broken under the blow.
