Stone, Hooked on Hatchlings Curse #mfrwhooks

 

This weeks excerpt features the #Bookqw "Stone." To set the stage, the dragshi received an urgent messages from distant villages in desperate need of medicine. Lord Branin Llewlyn took on the dragon form of his soul twin, Honored Old One Llewlynn, and took to the skies to test whether the winter storms had abated enough to safely fly beyond the confines of Cloud Eyrie.

Excerpt:


For a moment the solitary beam lingered on the cliff face beneath Cloud Eyrie before vanishing in the gloom. Thick gray clouds obscured the horizon and signaled the approach of yet another winter storm. Pulling upon hidden reserves, Branin raced toward the safety of the complex the dragon shifters called home.

A gust plunged him toward the granite outcroppings below. Ice crystals fell from his amber pinions to vanish in the mist. He halted his fall. His long-vision showed the jagged rocks below and how close he had come to a life-ending collision. Hovering, he caught his breath, then pulled for the safety of the heights.

Cloud Eyrie’s stone walls appeared none too quickly. Winds swirled the thick haze covering the mountain and revealed another problem. His plan to land on the cliff ledge the dragshis used for takeoffs and landings vanished. The ribbons of snow showed erratic air currents which could send him over the edge before the transition from dragon form to human was complete.

Branin growled in frustration. Before he met Anastasia, he might have risked breaking a limb. Now the danger was too great, not only to himself, but to her as well. A broken wing might only cripple him, but if he died, so would Anastasia.

 The dragshi are more than just a man or woman, but two beings—one human, the other a dragon. The pair share one body in space and time and are able to change forms with the other at will. But be warned, a dragon form comes with more than just the freedom of the sky.

The Dragshi Chronicles-- action-filled, romance-laden fantasies.

  4. I can feel the potential danger, and I like the description of how he's thinking about risks differently because of her.
