Update and Teaser

Went back to the dayjob after a long paternity leave. I miss my family and honestly I’m surprised work has changed so little after so long.

I am plugging away at Bloodlust: War (Domains book 9), which is consuming a lot of time. Here is a quick taste from the draft:

“At last it is time to make our mark,” said Valdarr, astride Moonfang with Diliria.

Around him, the Nosgoth surged forward, eager to get to grips with the Krassians. Even the presence of a dragon could not dim their lust for blood now.

Of course, if it turned and breath fire on them, that courage would evaporate. But for now, General Coraxia led her Wyverns against the Dragon, harrying from every angle. The crackled of spells and the roar of the beast could be heard even above the shouts of his warriors.

Valdarr did not charge the Legion line directly, The Nosgoth hoped to envelop the Krassian lines, but the strange formation on the palisades, a wedge thrusting outward, made direct attack a fool’s errand.

There were too few troops in the hills behind the lines to stop the Nosgoth.

“Its Chosen Sadira’s Homeguard,” said Diliria.

“Good, she won’t find us easy prey above ground,” he snarled. He remembered the deadly Homegaurd from their little war in the Deepstone roards. Taking Chosen Sadira’s head would make him a legend. “I’ve given orders to avoid engaging her if possible, she is too strong for any of us. Kill her people and she become vulnerable.”

“Spoken like a true Warlord,” purred Diliria, pulling one of her magical gas globes from a too-small ouch.

“NOSGOTH!” bellowed Valdarr, racing into the fray.
