Monday Book Lines :: The Orphan and the Thief

Every Monday I’m going to be pulling an image that showcases a moment in one of my books, along with an excerpt. None of these images (unless otherwise stated) are mine.

From THE ORPHAN AND THE THIEF:

“Go?” The man stepped close, so close that Melena was nearly nose to nose with him. “People don’t come into my territory and go. Travelers would be better off knowing where they’re traveling.”

“She said we didn’t know!” shouted Toad.

The man with red hair didn’t even turn to look at Toad. He kept staring at Melena. Melena forced herself to hold his gaze. The eyes under his bushy eyebrows were dark. Darker than coal.

“Let’s show our travelers why it’s best to know where yer troddin’.” He stepped back and yanked his double bladed axe from the ground with ease. He turned back to Melena, cradling the handle. The last rays of the sun glinted upon the sharpened blades. The man kept his eyes on Melena, and then at the last moment, he turned and headed toward Hazel.
