#8Sunday: “On the hunt” Excerpt from BRYCE (Galactic Defenders) #books #scifiromance
Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!
I’m sorry I missed you all last week, but I was on the road, traveling back from Romancing the Capital. Today, I am sharing an excerpt from my upcoming release, BRYCE: Galactic Defenders Book One.
This comes from the beginning of the story…
Bryce raised his crossbow, lining his sights on the creature standing amongst the bushes, its branch-like tentacles undulating in the gentle breeze. Focusing the crosshairs on the alien’s torso, he drew in a deep breath. He had one shot. If he missed, the Erebus would cry out, alert the natives of Terra to its existence, resulting in more casualties. At first glance, no one on the planet, also called Earth, would believe it anything more than an overgrown bush, but Bryce knew the truth. He’d trained to hunt the creatures from childhood.
Each step carefully placed, he advanced until he stood only twenty feet from the Erebus, no chance to miss the shot. With the slight movement of his finger, he squeezed the trigger, sending a zuranium-tipped arrow racing toward the alien.
“Quinn, would you grab me another garbage bag?”
BRYCE: Galactic Defenders Book One
A dedicated Defender…
Bryce fell in love once, but after Lalia was ripped away from him, he locked his heart from feeling anything for anyone else. Instead, he devotes his life to the Galactic Alliance, killing every bloodthirsty Erebus he comes across.
A shunned princess…
Lalia Comosova fell in love with the wrong man. When her parents learned of her transgressions, they sent her to Earth to hide her error in judgment from the rest of the kingdom.
A second chance?
When these lovers are reunited after many years apart, they have a chance to find happiness together. But fate steps in and threatens to rip them apart as it did years ago.
COMING SOON!
