The Gryphon takes flight…The Gryphon and His Thief #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday @KMNbooks
If you missed the last weeks snippet from
The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link.
Set up for this week: Darrien is free from his confines and has charged out of the motel room, but of course Calli is no longer in sight.
This scene is in Darrien's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.
***********************************************************
He had a few hours before he had to return to the museum or else find himself vulnerable as he turned to stone.
He threw open the door to the motel room, and immediately his gaze riveted to the car space where Calli had parked her vehicle. Of course, he found it vacant. He'd expected no less, but still he cursed softly as he strode over to the spot. He inhaled deeply, finding her sweet scent beneath the car's more odorous aromas. He would be able to track her and he shifted into the beastie, shielding his true self with magic.
Most humans could not perceive the Otherworldly realm, and still others dismissed it as a trick of the eye. There were only those few who could see through the trickery of magic and witness all things around them.

How do you think Calli sees the world?
Until next week, take care.

Some Treasures are Priceless…
A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.
Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate's Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.
As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.
