This week's excerpt is from my medieval fantasy romance – A Voice in the Air
Scene Set – Ewen is trapped in a deep, dark cave.
Excerpt –
The rumble of his stomach interrupted his thoughts. He placed his hand on it. “I have no idea whether it be time to eat or not. Nor whether it tis morn or eventide. Ye’ll just have to wait until a troll throws in my meal.” He patted his hand near his right hip, comforting himself by finding the mound of small stones he’d gathered. His meal’s protection from the rats.
He shifted to resting on his knees. With hands pressed together, he lowered his head then closed his eyes. “Dear Lord. I do not wish to seem impatient, but I do not know if it is today or tomorrow. Please forgive me if I have already asked this today. If it is yer will that I die here, so be it. All I ask is, please watch over my father. He is a good man.”
Opening his eyes, he blinked, checking to see if they were truly open. “Should I be brazen enough to ask for a sign of my love to be sent to… She knows not what I feel for her. I, a knight’s squire, have nothing to offer her.”
He felt the tremble of the ground as the darkness seemed to deepen. A loud grunt filled the cave with the lone word, “Fud.” It was the troll’s attempt to tell him his daily meal had arrived.
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.
