This week's excerpt is from my medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air
Scene Set –Cadi grieves
Excerpt –
She walked to her refuge behind the tavern. A small barn with a hayloft and horse stable, with a part sectioned off for her. As Plucks Ridge had no nunnery to provide a bed to an unwed woman, the tavern keeper offered a space, while keeping back part of her wages for rent. It suited the basic needs of Cadi. Only a short walk late at night from tavern to bed. Much safer for a lone woman.
Shutting her door, she crossed the room to her table and chair and sat. Cutting a large chunk of bread and cheese, she stared at her meal. Her hunger fled. Anguish flickered in her belly, then flooded her. So many deaths. So much pain. She dropped her arms onto the table and bowed her head against them. The first sob bubbled out. Many more followed. Her howls of fear and loss rang in her ears. She could not stop the tears. Her breath broke into strangled hiccups.
Blurb and Links
Squire Ewen followed his liege into battle with a head full of romantic notions of knights, heroics, and damsels in distress. Being captured by a troll, thrown into a cave, and awaiting a hideous death was not how he had foreseen his adventure to play out.
Can Ewen stay out of trouble long enough for Cadi to rescue him? Will Cadi overcome her doubts and fears and bring her beloved Ewen home to Plucks Ridge?
Or will the petty evilness of The Scorned One defeat all and destroy the magickal realm?
If you love action, humour, quirky characters, and romance, then Daryl Devoré’s latest medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air – is a must read.

Her anguish is palpable. Poor girl.
ReplyDeleteYes, a sad moment for her.
DeleteYou portray her effort to be strong, then her dissolution into tears very poignantly. She's just as devastated as everyone else. Moving snippet.Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteQuite an emotional moment, very well done snippet!
ReplyDeletePoor Cadi! Keeping it all together in front of everyone, but losing it when she's alone. I know that pattern very well. I'm tearing up just from reading it.
ReplyDeleteYou can feel her collapse here. Great prose.
