The Melded Child
by Jane Routley
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
For
ten years the peace negotiated by the Tari has held firm. But greedy eyes watch in the distance,
coveting the peaceful lands of Yarmar and even the Tari themselves. A new demon master rises bringing pollution
and violence. When Yani the Raven is
kidnapped, sorceress Marigoth and her companion Ezratah are drawn to Armaya and
a trap set by a brutal necromancer and his insane sister. Meanwhile Elena Starchild’s daughter Alyx,
heir to the throne of the Mori finds herself wounded and on the run in a forest
full of dark magic. And in the company of a bitter Mirayan enemy.
Can
the insular Tari dreaming in the secret land of Ermora be awoken before the
demon fire consumes them? And can a
Melded Child bring harmony in clasped hands before it is too late?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Mortal
enemies Alex Verday and Serge Madraga are in the land of Ernundra seeking the
help of the powerful mage race, the Tari, in their fight against a powerful
necromancer.
“What a good idea,” said Jerandine. She put her hands on a big earthenware teapot
and there was the sound of water being poured.
A moment later, fragrant smelling steam came out of the pot’s spout.
Impatience
gripped Alyx. Every day death angels
attacked the Red Seagani and Sweet Life only knew what was happening to her
mother. Yet here they were sitting round
watching these layabouts discussing the best tea to eat with honey cakes.
“If
they’re not going to help us, we should go,” she hissed at Serge.
“Let
me ask them about Olga before we rush off.
And we might as well eat. We
haven’t had anything since midnight.”
He
took a cake and bit into it carefully.
“Mir!
That's delicious.”
Alyx
bit into one. He was right. Warm syrupy honey filled her mouth with
sweetness. Every other thought suddenly
receded.
“Have
some tea,” said Jerandine. “I’ve cooled
it for you. It should be just right.”
Alyx
accepted the cup and took a sip. It’s
delicious warmth filed her with a relaxed golden feeling. Just the right temperature. Thirstily she drank it down.
***
As
she puts down her empty cup she has an odd sense that there is something she is
supposed to do. She can’t seem to
remember what it is. Does it
matter? Probably not!
She
smiles at the young man sitting beside her. What is his name? Serge?
That’s it. He smiles back at her.
A delicious shyness fills her. He
is very handsome.
