Curse of the Ice Dragon

Check out this excerpt from Curse of the Ice Dragon, a sci-fi novel by Tara West, exclusive to the Wrath and Ruin boxed set.


Markus gasped as the old man’s eyes shot open. Deep within his sunken orbs, Markus thought he saw red. Dafuar’s incantations grew louder, until Markus could finally discern the lyrics of a poem.“One fell shot from the bowAnd many will know Madhea’s curse has descendedOmens will fall to familyAnd all the cruel hunter has befriended
For each life he claimsHis kin suffers the same death by similar strandFor she will allow neither beast nor fowlTo be hunted by his hand
To the hunter who reaps his fill of killAnd nary none from needBeware her beast who wakens to feastOn avarice and greed
Eyes that glow like burning coalsIn the embers of demon’s furyBreath so cold, Lydra freezes the soulsOf any at her mercy
Sad is the tale that is known so wellThe hunter who slaughtered with pleasureHis heartless crime was recompensedFor discarding the forest’s treasure”Once again the healer closed his eyes, and when they reopened he shook his head and blinked several times, acting as if he’d woken from a dream.Markus remained standing, his feet like granite stones planted firmly on the ground. Fear had sent ice through his limbs and weighted his body to the spot. Had Dafuar really had some kind of vision? If the man’s intentions were to spook him, he’d clearly succeeded.
With clenched fists, he spoke through gritted teeth. “Your parables are not amusing.”
