Morning darlings!
Today I'm sharing another snippet from my latest release, Arcanus Amator. I have such a hard time picking snippets for you guys. I never know if I should continue where I left off, pick something else, something hot, something cold... *grin*
Anyhow, here it is! If you remember from last week (read it here) we were at the battle field with Amandus while he waited for the enemy's representative. We continue in his point of view. Some editing has taken place to keep to the guidelines.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!
XOXO,
Elyzabeth

keep to the guidelines has probably taken place*

Something akin to worry gnawed at his gut for the witch Ariadne was a dangerous foe. Hundreds of years old, her power was similar to that of a lesser god and she could create great damage if she wished. He glanced at the rolling green fields around him, and the thought of the battle that would soon ensue, saddening him. The animals that had not fled already would certainly run as soon as they smelled the blood. Sighing, he lifted his gaze. His eyes widened as he caught sight of the person trotting toward him. Bereft of helmet or armor the witch rode with confidence, her golden tresses billowing behind her like the seductive veil of a bride to be. Her gown, as those of her practice accustomed to wear, was black as the night, a sharp contrast to the pale skin visible beneath.
As
an Arcánús, one of Cupid’s blessed children, Amandus’s mission in life
was to aid his father in bestowing love upon others.Unfortunately, when
he found his own soul mate he was incapable of making her perceive their
connection. Furthermore, she doomed their love forever. Amandus’s only
hope is a spell concocted by Cupid: The Arcánús Amator: Spell of the
Secret Lovers.
Hailey is desperate for love. She’s so desperate
that when she finds a spell on the internet that promises to connect
soul mates, she decides she must try it. Convincing her friend Hannah to
help her, the girls embark on a one-night craze that will produce
life-changing results and bring to life what was thought to be only a
myth.
I wonder if they can talk this trough. Nice description.

ReplyDeleteYour descriptive writing is outstanding, Elyzabeth. And I really like this guy--saddened by the prospects of what the looming battle will destroy. And he's worried about the animals. Bonus points for that one ;-) Great 8 :-)
