BLURB:
Elected
as the Songstress, Aria takes her place on the sacred platform to sing before
every dawn. As long as she does so, peace and abundant life belong to her
people. One morning, amidst a strange wind that brings with it a curse in its
eerie howl, Aria loses her ability to make music. But the encroaching death
that transpires isn’t her biggest tragedy. It’s that she adores the cause of
her blunder, for he’s a magnificent winged creature who’s stolen more than her
voice.
This sounds good!
Now for an excerpt:
“Who
are you?”
He
pushed further back into the shadows as she strode closer. “Someone you need
not know.”
“What’s
that supposed to mean?”
When
he didn’t answer, she sighed.
“What
a strange, terrible day,” she mumbled. “Well, at least tell me your name . . .”
He
stood, speechless, knowing he shouldn’t be there at all—conversing with a
Meleyan—especially not their musical deliverer that he was set to doom the day
after tomorrow.
A
peculiar grumbling interrupted her insistence, to his relief.
“Sorry.”
She patted her stomach. He could see, even in the blackened night, how her face
turned a deeper shade of red than her hair. “I’ve forgotten to eat. I guess I’m
hungrier than I realized.”
He
plucked an apple from the tree he’d nearly become a part of and held it out to
her. The girl approached tentatively. She reached for the fruit but recoiled
when her fingers brushed his.
“Is
touching me so horrible?” he asked.
Her
jaw dropped open and her delicate brow furrowed. She inclined her head. “It . .
. hurt.”
“How?”
he asked, for her fingers felt good to him, soothing. Warm. He wanted to try
again.
“I
don’t know how to explain . . .”
“Hum.”
Unsatisfied with the answer, he tossed the apple to her and watched as she
crunched her teeth into it.
Nice, Tessa, thanks. Good luck with your book!
