Twilight Over Moldavia
by Stephanie Burkhart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Romanian
unification is on the horizon and the spirited Crown Princess of Carpathia,
Caroline, would prefer to ride horses and archery to embroidery and dancing.
Complicating her life is her recent discovery that she's a witch.
Prince
Stefan Sigmaringen travels to Carpathia to meet Caroline. He discovers he has
much in common with her. He also learns that a strange man, Timon, has an
unnatural interest in him.
Upon
Stefan's engagement, he overhears his mother confessing to a horrible secret –
she cursed him in order to conceive him and Stefan will become a werewolf when
he turns eighteen. There is a condition to overcome the curse, but it will
require Stefan to draw on all his inner strength and Caroline, her courage. Can
they break the foul enchantment and secure their future or will Stefan give
himself over to the lupine curse that haunts his family?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT THREE:
Stefan went down on one knee.
"Caroline, will you marry me?"
"Yes, I will."
Loud applause broke out.
Stefan reached into his pocket and
withdrew a ring. Caroline gasped. A diamond surrounded by aquamarines.
"It's beautiful."
He smiled and slid it onto her
finger. Caroline sensed conflicting emotions within him. Happiness clashed with
apprehension, and she shared those emotions. Their night of happiness had been
tempered by danger.
Father Nicholai, the Orthodox
priest, stepped forward and placed Caroline's hand in Stefan's. Then he made
the sign of the Orthodox cross over them.
"May God bless you and watch
over you as you begin your life together. You have the church's blessing to
marry. Love is patient. It is kind, gentle, and all-knowing. Nurture such
feelings in your hearts, and your marriage will be satisfying and fruitful. In
the Lord's name, I bless you. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit."
Stefan and Caroline made the sign of
the Orthodox cross, and the guests did the same. Everyone raised their voices
and said, "Amen."
"Wine for all!" Mihai
said. "I have a toast!"
Waiters passed red wine to everyone
and gave Stefan and Caroline a set of gold goblets. Mihai raised his glass.
"A toast -- norco -- to the engaged couple. May you find true happiness
like Theresa and I have found, and as Mircea and Aurora have found as
well."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Stefan clinked Caroline's glass and took a long sip. Caroline barely had her
lips to the goblet when she detected a foul smell coming from it. Her stomach
clenched. He gagged, the wine splashed a little on his jacket, and he collapsed
on the ground, choking.
"Stefan!" Caroline fell to
her knees next to him, and placed her glass next to her. Mihai raced to
Stefan's side, wrapped his arms around Stefan, and raised him up. Michael
joined them. Gasps of concern filled the room. Caroline glanced at Stefan's
mother. Her hands covered her mouth, and terror filled her eyes. Caroline's
father rushed to her side.
Stefan's eyes snapped open. They
were yellow. His cheeks narrowed, and his teeth, sharp and pointed, hung over
his lower lip. Then he relaxed and slumped in his father's arms.
