Fire’s Field Prologue Excerpt:
They were coming for
her.
On the eve of her
mother’s 25th birthday, a young witch fought back chills as the
sounds of braying bloodhounds echoed through the forest. A single red stroke,
mixed with the faintest purple, lit the darkening sky, as night, along with
death, crept closer.
At the banks of River
Nore, Sorcha rocked back and forth, tears of innocence-lost escaping down her
cheeks. Heart splintering, she searched her memory for a spell to ease her
mother’s torment. With her hands locked in the fabric of her mother’s woolen
dress, she chanted pleas to the Goddess Isis to hear her cries and heal her
mother.
To no avail.
The only answer came
in the form of the demon’s sickness dripping from her mother’s mouth in a
sludge of grimy gray mud.
Fear unlike anything
she’d ever felt iced her heart, as once more she begged, swore her very life in
exchange for the continued beat of her mother’s heart.
A piercing pain shot
through her overburdened mind as the beast fought to break through her mental
shields. Weakened by her angst and un-tested youth, she left a crack exposed,
and the beast slipped in. Squinting her eyes closed, her entire body shaking
with the will to deny the sick beast entrance, she couldn’t prevent his foul
words from seeping through.
“Your mother paid for her defiance, for her inability to accept this
gift only I could give her. Look at you simpering and shaking, if you weren’t
so weak I’d use you, but no matter, I’ll be back.”
Drained from holding
back the tempest, Sorcha let loose true sobs for the loss of the deepest love
of her life, her solid fortress during every storm, the lyrical voice singing
away her nightmares. Ignoring her drenched skirts, she released all her torment
against her mother’s breast, barely catching the beat of her mother’s weakening
heart between each aching moan torn from the depths of her soul.
No one came to her
aid. No one soothed her broken spirit.
The sounds of the
hounds drew closer, their howls a mad cacophony in her surreal world. The
yellow-glow from fire-tipped sticks, created a mystical glow in the woods
before her. Snaps and cracks of branches reverberated across the forest as the
frenzied townspeople advanced to accuse and convict one of their own—a witch.
FIRE'S FIELD will be released May 19th!
