Journey to the stars and worlds of imagination: Thursday Thirteen

This Thursday Thirteen are teaser lines from the Windmaster Novels.

A strangling sense of horror woke Ellspeth from a deep sleep. (Windmaster)
Crashing waves broke on the Falcon’s bow and flowed over the deck. (Windmaster)
The luminous blue of the wizard's spell spiraled upward, interweaving in and around the almost jet-black pillar of water. (Windmaster)
Ellspeth was unsure whether her hands or the councilman’s blue-veined ones trembled more when the mark of her rank was pulled from her wrists. (Windmaster Legacy)
Deep in the embers’ glow, Nobyn saw an image come into being.(Windmaster Legacy)
The flares shooting skyward revealed a face in the clouds. (Windmaster Legacy)
Silence accompanied the song’s end. The image of the lovers gradually faded, replaced by the reality of a high-mountain cave. (Windmaster Legend)
The decision to stay with her trade guild or to risk the fugitive life with Iol needed no time for reflection. (Windmaster Legend)
Warmth that nothing to do with the sun crept up Kia’s back, heating her neck. This is my escort. She scanned him with a new eye, noting his easy stance and the hilt of the sword peeking above his shoulder. (Windmaster Golem)
Not even the battle energy building in Brodie’s veins eased the heaviness in his soul. (Windmaster Golem)
His fingers brushed the hilt of TânOer and the cold steel took command until the last remnant of Kia’s passion shrank to a glowing coal that Brodie locked away in the deepest recesses of his heart. No spark of his love—or memory of hers—remained. Calm entered his soul and his mind. Ready for battle his senses turned outward, alert for any sign of the invading force.(Windmaster Golem)
. A damp spot chilled her chin where his blood-stained finger touched her jaw to tip her head up. His gaze bore a sadness that cut worse than Relliq’s dagger. (Windmaster Golem)
The creature hammered at the invisible wall with his fist. Deafening peals reverberated with each blow. The wall shimmered into visibility. A heartbeat later it exploded into splinters. (Windmaster Golem)
