Description
Upon this world one half is dark and the other is light. A Magic Wall
divides the darker characters out of the Lightlands.
Only the Guardian Dragons and the Changeling can pass through the Wall.
When the dragons over hear vamplins plotting to attack the Lightlands, the
dragon Queen seeks the help of the Ancient Mage.
Three young Princes have grown up alongside the Changeling, a female
mage. Their world will soon change as they are destined for different
adventures.
Prince Raphael is taken on a pilgrimage to heal his illness, by Rikka the
herbal nurse, but all is not as it seems.
Prince Amos and Prince Leon must depart on separate quests. Their mission
is to warn the other races of dwarves, centaurs, merpeople and many other
creatures, of the impending attack.
The evil monshaad Emperor entices the Changeling to the Darklands, where
he plans to capture her magical essence. The vamplin Lord has other ideas.
All upon Aarabassa are preparing for battle.
Evil stirs, who will stop it?
Excerpt
The Lord Vamplin
looked upon the weeping female vamplin with gentle curiosity. She was not yet
aware of his presence. He could feel the pounding beat of his own heart
pulsating fast. What was it about this female that stirred such an excitement
within him? Her tears saddened him, he had no desire to see her so distressed.
Should he intrude on her privacy in this way? Should he let her know of his
arrival or should he slip quietly out again? When he was in her company, he did
not want to be parted from her. He wanted to touch her, gently take her into
his arms and comfort her. Never before had he experienced such feelings for any
female. He had mated with the best of vamplin females so why should this human
be any different? But, she was. She moved his heart and she aroused his groin.
His eagerness to
protect her caused him to tread heavily, she heard his movement and turned her
tear stained features to look upon him sadly.
Surprisingly, she did not stop weeping. Making no attempt to cease her
tears, she simply wept some more.
On her part she felt
she could trust him. He would care for her. He gently held her within his
hardened muscular arms. This felt so right, it felt just. She belonged in this
place, in his arms. She did not know how to tell him of her loneliness, of her
worry for her own people. Heather nestled closer to Fiendrac. He smelled
comforting, as if she had known him all of her life. Her tears trickled onto
his chest as he tightened his hold and pulled her closer to his body. He hushed
her sadness.
She peered up at his
face for assurance. His pale features appeared handsome to her. Gentle eyes
with thick strong lashes. His nostrils opened like a bulls as he breathed a
quick sigh. She stared at his kissable shapely lips. He had a strong jawline,
hinting at his warrior strength.
His head bent and he
brushed those lips over her soft vamplin silky forehead. She tried to speak but
sadness stuck in her throat. He shushed her with a low hushing sound and
stroked his long pale fingers on her soft pale cheek.
Lifting her delicate
chin, he gently touched her pale pink lips with his own. The force of that
first gentle kiss increased to a passion that neither could control. Each
stroked the others skin. Neither wanted the touching to end. The vibration of
passion was felt through the loving touches of each others body. This was no
magic trickery, only the magic of love. He never wanted to let her go again.
His loins throbbed with a longing ache. Yet he did not wish to violate her without
her consent.
She stroked her
delicate feminine fingers down over his broadened shoulders. Unable to resist
scratching his chest in her passion to reach down to his belly. She bent her
head and wildly kissed and licked his salted chest. His skin was delicious. The
aroma of a lusting male emanated from his sweat. He wanted her, of this she was
sure. She desired to give her virginal honour to this stranger. She could not
help herself.
How had they become
so entwined. So easily vulnerable to each other.
‘My Lord,’ she tried
to whisper.
She knew she must
escape this entrapment. It was all a set up by the Emperor. Yet how? How could
she quench these flames of desire. The more she tried to drowned them, the
higher her urge to pull him closer, to touch, to feel his manliness.
‘Fiendrac,’ she
tried again to communicate and break the spell.
‘Heather, I have
never loved as I feel for you now,’ he breathed in her ear. His voice low and
husky.
‘We must stop this
Fiendrac,’ she moaned in response, but still unable to pull away.
His hand stroked the
top of her inside leg. All her nerves twitched at this touch.
‘No, don’t make me
stop,’ he moaned, ‘I want you forever, my love.’
