Snippet Sunday: Left holding a Glove…The Gryphon and His Thief @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

Welcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I’d change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.

If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here’s the link. Chapter 2 #1 

Set up: This takes place a few paragraphs after last week. Calli Angelis has Hecate’s Stone and makes a mad dash past Darrien in hopes of escape. Darrien makes his own attempt to stop her…

*The excerpt may be modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.

His magic curled around him and he took the form of ether, reappearing in front of the woman, but she was quick on her feet and she maneuvered around him. With one last effort, his hand snaked out to clasp her wrist. She swung with her other hand and something sliced into his flesh. The sharp pain made him falter his grip and she yanked her arm, leaving him holding only her glove as her body propelled through the window. She’d raised her arms to shield her face as the glass shattered, and her scream pierced his eardrum, the sound as deafening as screeching gargoyles when they mated. He covered his ears on reflex.

When silence blessed the heavens, he lowered his hands and stared at the window now sporting jagged glass, and strode toward it, expecting to find her sprawled on the ground in a heap of blood and shards, but the little thief hadn’t even paused upon landing. His gaze caught sight of her sprinting around the side of the building, as he stood befuddled over how she managed to pull off the elaborate feat.

How long do you think it will take for Darrien to come to his senses and go after Calli?  Stop by next week to find out.

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at The Gryphon and His Thief.

Blurb:

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.
