*****EXCERPT*****
A shadow stepped from the trees, a woman with long, auburn hair
and ghostly-pale skin. She smirked wickedly at Alexia before turning her
attention to Kiren. She rubbed her temples.
Kiren shuddered. The woman glared at him. He grabbed his head with
one hand, toppling onto an elbow.
Alexia stepped forward. The woman’s face slackened, hands dropping.
Bellezza leapt between them, her hideous snarl turned to the
attacker. “Only a coward fights from the shadows. I hate cowards.” Her chin
lifted toward Alexia. “Cover your ears!”
Alexia obeyed but the girl’s shriek pierced through her fingers.
Her heart clenched and ceased beating. Red lines zipped across her vision. She
landed on her hip, begging for Bellezza to stop. The sting of pollen haunted
her nose, like the sick perfume of soon-to-be decay.
Silence.
Her heart thudded again. Alexia’s head snapped up.
The deadly child crouched, muscles tight, head turned—as if
listening to something behind her. Their attacker was gone.
Alexia twisted.
The estate sat on the shoulders of thick blackness. At least a
hundred red eyes pierced through the darkness, a blanket of ragged pitch
writhing across the yard.
The Soulless.
