Lying face down on the gritty cell floor, Targath tried to take a brief respite for his tormented body, clear his mind, and chart a path forward without his closest ally. Though his eyes were closed, his mind, wracked by guilt and grief, refused rest. Golden, radiant light, beginning as a flicker like that ofContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 13: Not All of Us”

Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 12: Synu’s Grace
Legs limp and useless, Targath’s shoulders throbbed from the strain of his own weight while being dragged by the arms. Through hazy vision he watched the light grow dimmer, and the doors made of rusted iron bars drifted by. Behind him, a door creaked open, and he was dragged inside before being unceremoniously deposited inContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 12: Synu’s Grace”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 11: Paragon of Peace
Lightning streaked jaggedly, illuminating the night sky in blinding flashes, followed by reverberating thunder. Clouds burst open with sheets of rain, pounding on the heads of Kilena and Targath as they navigated mazes of stone paths leading to a looming cathedral. Broad, charred ebony doors shielded them from the elements once inside. A worship hallContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 11: Paragon of Peace”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 10: Invitations
Turquoise nostrils flared as Utiss emerged from the cave’s shaded entrance into the setting sun’s orange glow. She eagerly breathed fresh air, feeling it filter through her body and cleanse the final remnants of Ginroy’s toxin before exhaling a reinvigorated sigh. Poised on her back, Kilena smiled and comfortingly patted her neck. A breeze sweptContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 10: Invitations”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 8: Ginroy
Jogging toward Roselake Castle’s threshold, Kilena found the guard posted outside stared horrified up into the cloud speckled sky, a trembling hand on his sheathed weapon. She and Targath rushed passed him on to the path connecting the imposing structure to the rest of the city. “What’s the order, princess?” Halting in the middle ofContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 8: Ginroy”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 6: Unconventional Methods
On the opposite side of the drawbridge from Roselake, Kilena led Targath through the grassy outskirts. The broad kingdom’s outlying terrain proved treacherous to navigate, especially each time he pushed her head under the grass at the first sight of a guard along the rampart. At the castle’s rear, overgrown grass arched over the groundContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 6: Unconventional Methods”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 5: Entry Denied
“I never thought I would be passing through these gates so soon after my list visit,” Kilena said with a sense of astounded disbelief. The drawbridge echoed her footsteps back to her, and that of her companion’s lighter strides. Targath held his silence, but spared a look of intrigue in her direction. Ahead of themContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 5: Entry Denied”
Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 3: A Frost Giant’s Friend
Targath at her side and Utiss close behind, a hammer rhythmically clanging against metal guided Kilena through the woods. Silence briefly visited between each strike, absent of calling birds or noisy insects. Clouds reigned in the sky above, greyfo and gloomy with the threat of rain. Trees became more sparse the deeper they traveled intoContinue reading “Miss Knight Book 2 – Chapter 3: A Frost Giant’s Friend”
