Excerpt:

 

 
Racing forward, he spotted her near Tapin's tents surrounded by three beasts. Tall and slender, she possessed a strong, wild beauty he found intriguing. Long chestnut brown hair flowed down her back. Her eyes were golden yellow with obsidian irises. She'd been bonded! Only the noble bonded. Her high, exotic cheekbones and patrician features were steeled in courage and determination. The primal urge to mate with her made his heart pound in his chest.


A falcon, the heraldic symbol of Tapin, was prominently displayed on her tunic.


A bird screeched. A wyldebeast craned its neck upward and the descending falcon
slashed its talons over the creature's face, spraying blood.


"Well done, Hiro!" exclaimed the woman.


A second wyldebeast lashed at her. She stumbled backwards, tripping on a rock. Her
wrist struck the ground hard, sending her sword sprawling several feet away from her, leaving her vulnerable.


"Draco, defend the Tapin noblewoman!"


Ivánstan's dragon, now overhead, shot a blast of flame from his mouth, scorching the fur of an advancing beast. The creature collapsed and rolled over, attempting to use the ground to extinguish the flames on its body.


The remaining wyldebeast raised his hand, its fingernails moist, poised to strike the noblewoman. Ivánstan lunged forward and sliced off the creature's wrist just inches in front of her face.


"Thank Nyla!" she cried.

The beast howled in pain and spun to face Ivánstan. Draco latched its thorny claws into the creature's shoulders, lifting it into the air.

Thank you so much for hosting today. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the excerpt. Thanks for your patience with me. It's been a busy day trying to catch up on errands. With the Winter Olympics in full swing, I just have to ask: What's your favorite winter olympic sport? I hope to stop again throughout the weekend.

Smiles to all

My favorite Olympic sport has always been figure skating. I can (and have) watched it for hours. I miss the greats of the eighties and nineties!
