Child of the Night Guild by Andy Peloquin
![Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00060]](http://victoriazakromance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Child-of-the-Night-Guild-Cover.jpg)
I’m excited to share Andy Peloquin’s Child of the Night Guild as we celebrate his release today! I’m impressed with this cover; the art work is incredible! Check out more info about this book!
BOOK INFO:
Title: Child of the Night Guild (Queen of Thieves Book 1)
Author: Andy Peloquin
Publication Date: Jan 17, 2017
Paperback Price: $17.99
Digital Price: $2.99
Pages: 401
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Child of the Night Guild (Queen of Thieves Book 1)
“They killed my parents. They took my name. They imprisoned me in darkness. I would not be broken.”
Viola, a child sold to pay her father’s debts, has lost everything: her mother, her home, and her identity. Thrown into a life among criminals, she has no time for grief as she endures the brutal training of an apprentice thief. The Night Guild molds an innocent waif into a cunning, agile outlaw skilled in the thieves’ trade. She has only one choice: steal enough to pay her debts.
The cutthroat streets of Praamis will test her mettle, and she must learn to dodge the City Guards or swing from a hangman’s rope. But a more dangerous foe lurks within the guild walls. A sadistic rival apprentice, threatened by her strength, is out for blood.
What hope does one girl have in a world of ruthless men?
Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Scott Lynch, and Brent Weeks will love Queen of Thieves…
EXCERPT:
We’ve been at this for hours! When will he let us rest? Mind numb from hunger and fatigue, Viola placed one weary foot in front of the other. Blood dripped from cuts in her hands, arms, and forehead.
Master Velvet refused to let up. “Your past is gone, your families forgotten. You have no names, no identities. You are nothing more than a number until it is deemed fit to give you a name.”
The children called out as one, “Yes, Master Velvet!”
“Everything you are, everything you will be, you owe to the Night Guild. We are your masters, your creators, your gods.” The tirade had repeated for endless hours, but Master Velvet never seemed to have enough.
“Yes, Master Velvet!”
Master Velvet’s voice cracked like a carter’s whip. “Disobedience will be punished harshly. Obedience will be rewarded well. Learn this and you will flourish in the Night Guild.”
Viola’s legs wobbled, her shoulders ached, and her arms shook from exertion. “Yes, Master Velvet!”
“Forget everything you know. Forget life outside this room. You eat, sleep, and shit at my command.”
“Yes, Master Velvet!” Viola’s voice cracked from thirst and fatigue. She wanted to lie down, to close her eyes, to sleep.
Master Velvet snarled in her ear. “You live and die at the pleasure of the Night Guild. You belong to the Guild mind, body, and soul. What are you?”
“We are tyros, Master Velvet.”
He crouched beside her. “And what are tyros?”
“Lower than dirt, Master Velvet!”
A satisfied smile spread across his face. “Empty your buckets and set them on the floor beside the barrels. Double speed, my drudges.”
Viola tried to move faster, but her feet refused. By the time she reached the barrel at the far end of the room, only one other child remained. The boy, barely taller than her, had yet to empty his bucket. He strained to lift his heavy load. His hands trembled uncontrollably—a permanent condition that made even eating and drinking difficult. Water splashed down his tunic, turning the dirt to mud.
Emptying her pail, Viola dropped to the sodden ground with a half-sob, half-groan of relief.
“Get up, tyros!” Master Velvet would not let them rest.
Tears of exhaustion and frustration streaming, she climbed to her feet. Though her back protested, she forced herself straight when Master Velvet approached.
Stand tall, no matter what. Mama’s words echoed in her thoughts. I’m trying, Mama, but I’m so tired!
“Chow time, my drudges. You’ll find that table over there loaded with delights to fill your little bellies. Eat. You have done well.”
Someone had piled the table high with fruits, sweetmeats, and treats. She’d been too exhausted to notice. The scent of fresh bread, cinnamon rolls, and pastries wafted toward her. Her stomach rumbled in anticipation.
Master Velvet placed a hand on her shoulder. “Not you, Seven. You were the first to fail, so an example must be made.”
“B-But…” Viola couldn’t put up more than a weak protest.
“Off with you, Seven. To your bunk and reflect on your weakness.” His dark eyes held no kindness. “Pray to the Watcher for strength to survive.”
“Y-Yes, Master Velvet.” She turned away to hide her tears.
“Perhaps you’ll try harder tomorrow, Seven.” He spoke without a trace of compassion or pity in his voice. “If you want to have any hope of survival here in the Night Guild, this will be the last time you fail.”
Hunger gnawed at Viola’s belly, but it could not outweigh the bone-deep weariness. She forced herself not to look at the other children, to block out the sounds of their eating. Feet leaden, she turned to the tunnel that led to their sleeping quarters.
Tears flowed in earnest once she reached the darkness of the passage. Sobs of anger, desperation, and frustration washed over her, shaking her body like a leaf in a whirlwind.
Slamming the door shut behind her, she threw herself onto her bunk and buried her head in the thin pillow. She didn’t care that her clothes were soaking wet or that she hadn’t had any water to drink for hours. She wouldn’t allow any of the others to see her cry.
Bright Lady, hear me and protect me in my hour of need. Her parched throat refused to form the words.
The prayer had comforted her in the past, but now it felt empty. The hunger, exhaustion, and thirst remained. Minutes ticked by in silence. Nothing happened.
She balled her fists and swallowed the ache in her belly. Down here, she was all alone. The Bright Lady can’t hear me.
Why would she? The goddess of healing hadn’t heard when she’d prayed for Mama and baby Rose. The gods were far away, if they cared at all. Mama was gone and Papa had left her here. In this place, she was the only one she could count on. She had to be strong, just as she had been after Mama died.
I will get through another day. Just one more.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I am, first and foremost, a storyteller and an artist–words are my palette. Fantasy is my genre of choice, and I love to explore the darker side of human nature through the filter of fantasy heroes, villains, and everything in between. I’m also a freelance writer, a book lover, and 
a guy who just loves to meet new people and spend hours talking about my fascination for the worlds I encounter in the pages of fantasy novels.
Fantasy provides us with an escape, a way to forget about our mundane problems and step into worlds where anything is possible. It transcends age, gender, religion, race, or lifestyle–it is our way of believing what cannot be, delving into the unknowable, and discovering hidden truths about ourselves and our world in a brand new way. Fiction at its very best!

Spend Valentine’s Week With Your Favorite Heroes
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
When I was asked which one of my heroes that I think my readers would want to spend Valentine’s Day with, one Dragonkine Highlander stood out. More like held his hand up, jumped up and down, and screamed “Pick me, pick me.” So, I laced up my hiking boots and headed down the dirt trail deep into the Great Glen, following the flames to a small cottage nestled in the forest. But before I left, I knew better than to arrive empty handed. I packed some fresh homemade rosemary bread, knowing this kind gesture would please the Highlander immensely.
I’m greeted at the front door by the lovely Kenna MacKenzie; she welcomes me with a warm hug and invites me.
“Rory took a quick jaunt to the loch. He’ll be home soon.” She smiled and took the bread to the table. “This always does the trick.” She winked and cut into the bread. The aroma of rosemary filled the room.
Not a moment later, in walked Rory, soaking wet. I knew it was wrong of me to eye the dragon in front of his mate and my friend, but my eyes couldn’t resist following the droplets of water dripping off his long dark hair and streaming down the well-defined ridges and valleys of his chest, then disappear into his low-hung kilt. He sniffed the air. “Mmm, my favorite…rosemary.”
Walking over to the table, he stood behind Kenna, kissing her neck as he sneaked a piece of bread.
“Dinnae be rude.” She elbowed the dragon in the ribs. “We have a guest.”
Rory peeked up at me from across Kenna’s shoulder and paused. His dark smoldering eyes glared straight through me and my knees went weak. Something about him warned me to tread softly, for he was dangerous to my body and soul.
I cleared my throat and offered him my hand. “Victoria Zak”
“Aye, lass, what brings ye here?” He popped a hunk of bread in his mouth and motioned for me to take a seat.
Clearly he wasn’t interested in shaking my hand so I gave up on the effort and took a seat across from him and Kenna. “If you don’t mind I have a few questions to ask you–for fun.”
Rory suspiciously glared at his mate, then to me. “Is this trickery, lass?”
“No, Rory, No trickery here.” I said. “Where I come from we celebrate a day of love called Valentine’s Day. It’s a special day for lovers.” I watched Rory turn to Kenna and wiggle his brows. “And I asked Kenna if I could stop in and ask you some questions. My friends have read your story and have fallen in love with you.”
“Aye?”
“Aye,” I replied back.
“Go ahead then. I shall no’ disappoint.” He grinned and I took in a breath of relief, thankful I hadn’t upset him. (Dragons can be a wee bit jumpy at times)
“Okay.” I cleared my throat. “My first question What is your strength?”
Rory looked at me with one raised brow as if he wasn’t impressed with my question.”
“Right.” I sank down in my chair feeling like a complete eejit. Zak he’s a dragon for God’s sake!
“Next question.” I swallowed hard. “What is your Weakness?”
Rory sat thinking. He began to speak, then shut his mouth, placing his finger on his chin; again deep in thought. (I’ll move on. Eye-roll.)
“What would you like to get on Valentine’s Day?”
He glared at Kenna with hunger in his eyes and licked his lips. Kenna was trapped and locked into place, holding his smoldering stare.
I dared to move on. “What would be your perfect date?” My question was completely ignored as Rory stood, sending the chair falling to the floor. Slowly, I watched him stalk my friend like she was prey. (Folks, you know when you hear that wee voice in your head, telling you to do the right thing? Like don’t ask the next question. You know you should listen to it, but you don’t?) 
“What are you giving Kenna for Valentine’s Day?” I snickered as I watched Rory approach Kenna in two long strides, then bend down and throw her over his shoulder. I smiled.
Knowing this was my clue to exit, because no one comes between a dragon and his mate, I made my way to the door, shaking my head at Kenna’s giggles.
Available on Amazon
Rory Cameron, an alluring Dragonkine Highlander, has enjoyed his days as a womanizing beast. But lately his sexual appetite has been unfulfilled and he must have the mate he has not yet discovered. When he finds himself in the arms of Kenna Mackenzie, his hope is fulfilled. Can he contain the flames of love until his mate realizes he is the one for her, or will one mistake cost him his whole world?
Kenna Mackenzie must protect her future son at all costs—Scotland depends on it. Running in fear from her betrothed, she finds herself secluded deep within the great glen, far away from the likes of men. When she least expects it, a dragon swoops into her life. Feeling the burn of the seductive flames, will Kenna embrace the fire between Rory and her—or will she flee again?
