New month, new book. Wow, after such a long time with In Pain and Blood, too.
This time, my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk, it’s from Dark One’s Bride. For which I really wished I could make a decent blurb for, because I’ve got bupkiss there right now.
Anyway, this is the sequel to Dark One’s Mistress and picks up five months after it with Clara travelling alone to Endlight…
People lined the road, busy with their lives of work or begging or just plain keeping back from the Great Lord’s black carriage. Nothing different about them to give away where they were. It was oddly disappointing. For years, anything beyond Everdark had seemed so exotic, but the journey here had swiftly shown her how wrong she’d been. With every mile, she’d hoped Endlight would prove different.
Sighing, Clara flopped back into the seat. She wanted to hammer on the roof, demand the driver reveal their present destination. Only the stranglehold she kept on her impatience stopped her. That and Lucias’ men took it upon themselves to ignore her completely unless it conflicted with the Great Lord’s wishes.
Don’t forget to check out the other excerpts.

You’ve clearly shown us her disillusionment and impatience.

Intriguing, Aldrea. I wonder if boring is not better than what Clara is likely to be on tge receiving end of!

She’ll certainly be missing the quiet of her hometown in some spots.

Oh dear, I suspect she may not be bored for much longer – the phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’ springs to mind!

It seems that she is nowhere near getting what she expected. She seems a bit lonely too.
