So here it is, as promised. The first of 5 excerpts from Sins of the Son over the next 5 weeks leading up to RELEASE DAY!!! (Ahem. Sorry about that. Just a little excited over here. ;)) I hope you enjoy, and don’t forget to come back next Tuesday for another tidbit. 🙂
The air around Mittron stilled. Panic clutched at his throat. They were nearly here, and he couldn’t make so much as his little finger twitch. The angel who had once been his soulmate crossed the room and placed a gentle hand beneath his chin, held him so he would meet her eyes.
“Tell me,” she said. “Tell me now — everything — and I will speak to her. Perhaps I can spare you some of what you — ” She looked past him and broke off, her face going white and her head inclined in unhesitating supplication. Her hand dropped to her side.
Mittron heard the rustle of feathers and his bowel filled with ice water. His heartbeat slowed until it was a bare thread of rhythm. No.
Verchiel’s gaze met his again, horror behind her expression. Horror not for what he had done this time, but for what she knew was coming. What they all knew was coming.
No.
“There’s a letter!” his mind screamed, but the words remained locked inside him, unable to pass through lips now frozen into the same stillness as the rest of his body. The rustle of feathers grew louder, filling his head with a noise so great the rest of the universe faded into nothingness. Then, silence.
And a new female voice, devoid of expression, devoid of warmth. “Mittron of the Seraphim,” the Archangel Gabriel said, “you have been called to Judgment.”
Please, no…
