At that moment, a very tall man with long brown hair, a neat beard and mustache, iridescent green eyes and a glowing green jewel in the middle of his forehead strode casually into the room. With one long finger, he pressed a button with a large X engraved in the center. The room stopped shaking as the engines powered down. The man had an amused look on his face as he extended his hand to Leah.
“Welcome to Castle Necros,” he greeted. “I am your host, the Marquis Ciaran Kabral.”
“Leah La Sirene, witch queen of New Orleans,” Leah returned in a subdued voice. “I do humbly apologize for nearly launching your tower into space. I am not quite sure how it happened.”

Wonderful descriptions and backstory here. Can't wait to read more . . .
ReplyDeleteThank you. There will probably be one or two more snippets from this book!
DeleteWOW! Here it comes!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, and with Tobias in charge, it's not as if things are likely to improve for anyone else.
DeleteWhat makes me thing that "nicer quarters" doesn't necessarily mean nicer treatment?
ReplyDeleteIf there were money to be won from it, I'd definitely bet that was the case!
DeleteThe book releases in three days and you have only a tentative title? You must have a high tolerance for uncertainty. I would've chewed my fingernails to the elbow if I faced that sort of pressure!
ReplyDeleteEh...I know the publisher.
DeleteHint: I am the publisher. So it isn't as if I'm going to get any more of a dressing down than me rolling my eyes at myself when I pull a Trent Lane and decide to change the title.
The original title seemed like it would work better with a forthcoming book in the series rather than this one. :-)
Great backstory. Great imagery Enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteI have a hunch it's not useless information.
I forgot to add my link. If you have a chance, I have my snippet up too. Karen's Shenanigans
Thank you for the compliments. I will check your snippet out!
DeleteI love the idea of magical shackles. What an interesting tale this will be!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upcoming release! :-)
Thank you. :-)
DeleteI definitely want to see where this goes! :D
ReplyDeleteAt this moment, it isn't going anywhere that Felice would like.
DeleteI don't think any "nicer quarters" could really compare with being free, but... it's something. Kinda? Will it give her a chance to replenish her energy?
ReplyDeleteAs far as Tobias is concerned, he believes himself to be wonderfully generous. As far as anyone else's feelings are concerned, he really doesn't care!
