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.”

This snippet is part of Team Netherworld's current WIP, Castle Necros, which is due for release on Kindle on Halloween 2019. Our hapless adventurers have found themselves in a foreboding dark tower which began making preparations for takeoff when they entered.
Castle Necros is the sixteenth book in the Carnal Invasion series.

"Iridescent green eyes", that looks very strange, I wonder what sort of being he is. He does seem to be making an impression on her and that's an achievement if she is the Queen witch.
ReplyDeleteI think she mostly feels contrite about not being able to stop the countdown which was preparing to launch the tower rather than spooked by the Marquis. It is, after all, quite rude to launch your host's home into the stratosphere. ;-)
DeleteThey're being very polite to each other under fraught circumstances.
ReplyDeleteShe's polite. He's amused.
DeleteWELL DONE. I SO ENJOYED YOUR SNIPPET.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-D
