Broken Spire
by Sue Perkins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Ash's
silvery purple hair sets her apart from her peers and at the magic college of
Spires a few senior maeven consider her magic to be alien and unsuccessfully
try to expel her. Ash feels a compulsive attraction tempting her to enter the
broken North Spire. She believes this off limits ruin holds the answer to her
origins, but is not willing to take the chance of expulsion from Spires.
Orm,
Ash's equally talented classmate, is determined to support the girl he
considers his soulmate, and promises to help her find out the secrets of the
North Spire when they reach the end of their third year.
At
the end of the first year, Ash nervously waits to see if she will be allowed to
continue at Spires, or will she be sent home in disgrace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
This
opportunity would shape her future, become a Spires maeven or always remain the
outsider. Rupe saw the others looking at her and gave everyone a furious glare.
The students quickly looked away and the whispering stopped.
Their
journey took several days. Few villages lay on this route, and they did not
collect any more students. Instead they made straight for Laktu. As they neared
the town the roads became smoother. Paved instead of compressed earth, with
gullies at the side to drain away surface water from the heavy rains. Their
final day took them through a dense forest and out the other side.
"Rupe,
look. I can see the spires of the college."
On
the horizon they saw rolling hills and stretching far above them the four
spires which gave the college its name.
"See
there's the broken one Tuvor told me about. Nobody's allowed in there because
it's dangerous."
The
procession followed the Searcher up over the hills. He stopped at the top to
allow them their first sight of the town of Laktu.
"As
you can see, Spires dominates the town. The East Spire houses the dormitories,
the West Spire the rooms of the maeven and the South Spire the
classrooms." The guide carried on before anyone could ask about the broken
spire. "The North Spire is broken. You are not permitted to enter there
under pain of dismissal. If you disobey you will go home in disgrace."

Hi everyone, guess it's a bit early for you all in America, but it's 8:10pm on Thursday night here in NZ so I popped by just to say hello. Hope you like the excerpt and good luck with the giveaway

ReplyDeleteWhat books are you looking to read in 2017? Thanks for the giveaway. I hope that I win. Bernie W BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com.
ReplyDeleteHi Joseph, I have so many books on my to be read list it's difficult to choose. It will probably be a fantasy book as I love that genre, I have the Inkheart series in paperback so that would probably be my aim to read in 2017, as I haven't had a chance to delve into them yet.
ReplyDeleteHello! I am here once again to thank you for the chance at winning. I appreciate it!
