Excerpt
Fiona checked the orc, who began to wake.
His eyes, Morwenna was surprised to note, were the same hazel green as the
Queen’s, rimmed in dark lashes.
“Good morning, cousin Sherrow,“ Queen Tadame said
to the orc. “We have you safely hidden
for now, and Goddess willing, will move you north out of harm's way in a few
short days.”
The orc grimaced. “It was my job to
protect you, Tad. Not be coddled like yon babe.”
“You will one day be at full strength and
protect me again. This is but for a season.” She raised her eyebrows at
him. “If it was a sword wound you would
not fuss so much.”
Sherrow scowled. “Honey bread pudding. I
was laid low by a sweet.”
Ha! Nothing manly about honey bread pudding bringing a warrior down. :-) Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat last line was unexpected. :-) I love the name Morwenna.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and intriguing! Can't wait to learn more, love your cover!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Laid low by junk food. How humility for a warrior. Nice touch of humor, Melisse!
ReplyDeleteAn orc who's a romantic hero? You're a brave writer!
