blurb:
Forced by his father into a marriage he
didn’t want, Prince Alan soon finds that his bride isn’t the sweet, submissive
creature he expected. Morgane has the
heart of a dragon and beauty beyond compare, but she isn’t thrilled about the
marriage either. When black treachery
threatens the kingdom, Morgane and Alan embark on a perilous journey that has
an excellent chance of ending in failure and death for them and all of their
people.
excerpt:
Bowdyn picked up his wine cup and drained it. "I am glad
for the scars. Every time he looks at his back in the mirror he will be
reminded of his duty. Did he make friends here?"
"Yes, sir." A pained look crossed the keeperʹs thin, sallow
face. ʺHe and another prisoner called Adair were friendly to each
other. Naturally, I transferred Adair once I learned of this situation."

Geez, this is not a light-n-sweet story is it! I really like how real your characters seem. Bowdyn's an interesting guy, despite or maybe because of what appears to be a mean streak. Great excerpt here.
ReplyDeleteNaturally! Grr, poor man. Loving how this story is unfolding.
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think the king is ever going to be up for a father-of-the-year award. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteWow, the king sucks! And what kind of friendship did he make with this Adair that has the keeper so nervous?
ReplyDeleteI agree with others - will look forward to Bowdyn getting his :-) Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMan this story is great. I'm wincing just thinking about the scars and heartbroken knowing that the prince lost his only friend simply because they were friends, so powerful and devastating. well done!
ReplyDeleteNot a father I'd want.
ReplyDeleteA fascinating story. I'm waiting for things to turn in the prince's favor myself. Excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteSo brutal, those two.
ReplyDeleteI'm mesmerized by the title at the top of the page, "A Father's Love," because this king is displaying the opposite of parental affection. To read that his only friend was transferred away is despicable treatment... more and more, I'm cheering for Alan, for I know there's going to be a great comeback (hopefully) for him! Great snippet - thanks!
