I am excited to be participating in Goddess fish's Party Pavilion! I will be sharing short excerpts from the book throughout the day.
For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do anything to escape.
The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.
While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now
embrace clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her
physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot
begin to explain.
Prologue Teaser:
“All rise!” the bailiff bellowed out through
the hall. “This court is now in session. The honorable global court inquisitor
O’Callaghan presiding.”
An imposing figure with short,
golden locks entered from behind the bailiff, motioning for people to take
their seats. He gathered his floor-length white and purple robes in his left
hand, made his way over to the furthest prisoner and yanked the hood from her
head.
“So this is the all-powerful
Sienna,” the inquisitor mocked, squeezing the bound woman’s cheeks with his
hand. “How disappointing.”
Her once beautiful face was
disfigured by several charred-black electrical burns. Blood and pus oozed out
of the open wounds. The pungent salve packed into her broken nose made her eyes
tear up and prevented her from smelling anything.
“Do you have anything you wish to
say in your defense before I render my verdict?” the inquisitor asked,
deactivating the device around her throat so she could speak.
“This will never work—she knows
her life is far more important than mine.”
“It’s possible she’d let you
die,” he acknowledged. “But both of her parents, her mate and her best friend?
No, I think that’s far too much to expect her to endure. Sooner or later she’ll
come, and the world will celebrate her execution.”
Sienna snapped to attention, her
green eyes widening in horror at the news of who else had been captured. “You
have no idea what you’ve done—everyone in this building’s going to die.”
The crowd erupted at her
outburst, and the inquisitor held up his hand to silence them. “And how exactly
is your precious queen going to manage that? She’ll be welcomed to our fair
city by twenty thousand volts from the first alarm she trips. Not enough to
kill your kind, but plenty to leave her unconscious until—”
“Sir, a perimeter alarm’s been
triggered just outside the north gate,” a soldier interrupted from the gallery.
He wheeled on the man in a fit of
anger. “Interrupt me again, and I’ll disembowel you! People have been jumping
the fence all day—contact the guards at the gate and have them check it out.”
“We tried sir. Calls have been
placed to the guard desk, the three closest perimeter sweep teams and the north
tactical unit—they’re not responding.”
“Who’s not responding, you
imbecile!”
“Any of them.”
