Snippet Sunday
April 14th, 2008 by MelanieStill no news about the exact release of Dragon Prophecy, but here’s something to tide you over:
Phelan came up behind her and offered to help. Calli whirled and held the blade to his throat, her eyes cold with suspicion.
“Tell me,” he said.
“Why?”
“Whatever pushes you to death is not worth the trouble.”
Her eyes narrowed, the tip of the blade pinching his throat. “Is not friendship worth the trouble?” Without his help, she managed to slide her arm out of the mail shirt. The links rustled and clinked when it fell to the dirt.
“Nothing is great enough to risk what I’ve seen.”
Confusion played across her face for dominance and succumbed to defeat. She backed away. “What good will it do you?”
“At least help me understand why.” He frowned, wishing she would trust him with whatever secret she hid. “I’ll tell no one.”
Calli eyed him cautiously. After a few seconds, her face drooped with sadness.
His heart dropped to witness such a dramatic change.
“I could not protect her, Phelan,” she murmured without meeting his eyes. “With all my father’s training I could not keep their hands off her.”
