Excerpt:
Damn. If they were LARPing, they took it very seriously and
didn’t break from their roles as they dragged me into the woods and out the
other side. I gaped at the scene across the stone bridge. A palace and smaller
structures built on top of pillars, all made of white stone like they’d been
carved there by gods, were nestled beneath the high, rocky, grass-covered cliffs.
Sparkling waterfalls flowed down beneath the cliff-side city and emptied into a
river. Small trees adorned the landscape and added color to the gleaming white
structures. Had I stepped into a fantasy novel?
My captors pushed me toward the bridge spanning the river.
I scowled at them. “Hey, dudes, easy.”
“Walk or I will have you dragged across,” the leader grated
between clenched teeth.
I lifted my chin and walked, the two men holding my arms.
They led me up marble steps to an arched doorway. The leader stepped ahead of
us, motioning for all four men to wait with me. After a few minutes, he
reappeared, and then my captors thrust me inside the huge domed building I’d
seen across the bridge. Gripping my upper arms in a painful hold, they ushered
me down an entryway lined with torches and steered me around a central stone
fire pit. They shoved me forward and released me so abruptly I fell to my
knees, landing hard on a bearskin rug. I started to stand and was forced back
down.
“Kneel before King Roan,” the leader rasped as he pushed on
the back of my neck.
My head forcefully bent, I raised my gaze to the shadowed
figure in the rear of the large room, glimpsing stone statues of animals and
beautiful god-like beings peeking from the alcoves, an array of silvery,
life-like etchings glimmering in the dimness.
The king stepped off a carved, pelt-covered wooden throne
nestled between the trunks of two oak trees that grew out the curved roof. He
came forward. A cold sneer curled his clean-shaven lip. Daylight beamed inside
from a high window, illuminating him in a golden splash of light that bathed
him in an ethereal radiance. My gaze widened. King Roan was the most beautiful,
fiercest-looking man I’d ever seen with long white-blond hair and icy blue-gray
eyes beneath thick, dark eyebrows. His skin was like milk. He wore a spotless,
long-sleeved, belted purple tunic, dark brown leggings, and a simple but regal
silver branch-like headband.
Seriously, where the
hell am I? In a Lord of the Rings
dream? Because this guy looked like one of the Grey Elves. That had been one
powerful joint Selena had given me. Had the person who had paid her to drug me
known this—whatever this was—would happen?
The king prodded me with his leather-booted foot. “Who is
this? She wears strange clothing.”
Huh, I’m thinking the
same thing about you.
The ninja leader unwrapped his headscarf. “We found her
inside our barriers.”
“A human breached our barriers?” A slight tone of alarm
filled the king’s deep voice.
Human? What?
“I-I don’t know how I arrived here.”
The ninja leader seized the back of my neck, causing
shooting pain, and I winced.
“Do not speak to the king unless told to do so,” he growled.
King Roan waved his hand downward. “Release her, Commander.”
He did but roughly pushed my head before he backed off. I
turned a glare on the commander, cringed beneath his withering stare, and then
faced the king, deciding it might be wise, at least for now, to keep my eyes
lowered. These people were acting strange, and my gut was warning me to be careful.
King Roan grunted and put his finger beneath my chin,
coaxing me to look at him. “What is your name?”
“Dina.”
His touch produced strange tingles. I quivered beneath his
stare, the blue-gray in his eyes flickering and softening for a moment, his jaw
set tight.
He quickly withdrew his finger and cleared his throat as if
the brief spark of emotion when he’d touched me surprised him. “Rise.”
