HIDDEN HUNTRESS Snippet!
As promised, I'm posting a Tristan POV snippet from HIDDEN HUNTRESS because the Goodreads adds have officially passed 2,000! As I mentioned before, HIDDEN HUNTRESS is still undergoing a few edits, so all this is still subject to the red pen. Enjoy!
Maintaining one's dignity while being dragged in chains through the city you'd once been destined to rule, covered in weeks' worth of your own filth, is difficult. That being said, I thought I had managed the deed well enough on the trip between my prison cell and the River Road. Not so on the return voyage. There had been no dignity in my screams; and while the white streaks left behind by my tears of pain might have elicited the pity of some, they certainly earned me no respect. I did not deserve it.
I was the fallen prince. Twice a traitor, having betrayed both my father and my cause in a single moment, ensuring that I would remain an outcast for whatever remained of my life. All for a human girl who I loved above all things, and all, it seemed, for nothing.
