#WIPSnips #amquerying #writesky #epicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚 From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. Abber escapes during the night, headed through the mountain forest by feel and horse-sense.

Abber pulled the cloak tighter and nudged her horse the opposite direction around the cottage. A goat track led deeper into a stand of rowan trees covered in early flower buds. Following the refrozen slush, they soon intersected a small stream, probably a tributary to the Silvern.
“Upstream and uphill, Clover,” Abber said, her breath clouding the air.
The mare picked her way along the edge of the stream, avoiding roots in the moonlight filtering through the branches. As night wore on, Abber caught herself napping and jerked awake when a branch dragged across her face. Eyes bleary, Abber looked for any sign of shelter to rest. She couldn’t remember anything but animal tracks for hours. Traveling during the day risked being sighted by Bizal’s men or even riders from Lord Terrick. A gnarled maple tree provided a break from the quickening breeze. Giving the mare a long line to browse, Abber settled under the tree with her cloak wrapped around her face to wait out the day. Bird songs with the dawn lulled her to a deep sleep.
Warm horse breath nuzzling her hood woke her to a hungry afternoon. Stretching stiff limbs, Abber rose to unstake Clover and lead her to the creek for a drink. Scooping water with her hands, Abber gulped down the icy cold water, tangy with minerals from the rocky bed. While the horse drank her fill, Abber scrambled back to the tree and dug into the saddlebags.

What did you grow up reading? My dad got me into sci-fi fantasy, and a series I reread over & over was David & Leigh Eddings’ Belgariad Series. I haven’t read them in years and wonder how they would hold up. #TheBelgariad #FantasyBooks #EpicFantasy #BookSky tainthemeat.wordpress.com….

A photo of a stack of The Belgariad book series illustrated by Geoff Taylor’s. The covers 1. Pawn of Prophecy; 2. Queen of Sorcery; 3. Magician’s Gambit; 4. Castle of Wizardry; 5. Enchanters’ End Game
Are the UK editions of The Belgariad, the best-selling 1980’s fantasy series by David and Leigh Eddings.

#WIPSnips #amquerying #writesky #epicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚 From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. Kahyla promised to pay Malgrim in Huxen etiquette lessons for helping her find Despard in a mercenary tavern. Naive Kahyla isn’t aware that Despard has been hiding from her for a very good reason.

A possessive grip slid over her waist.
“Get your hand off me!” Instinct raised Kahyla’s arm as she turned, but stopped short. Her fingertips brushed the hard leather below Despard’s shoulders. Weariness lined his face as he rose to his full height, closing the gap between them.
“A few gods-damned weeks,” he cursed softly. “Only a few weeks and you would’ve been safe.”
“Despard, I don’t understand,” she said.
Despard increased the pressure with his hand on her waist, crushing her breath. Kahyla sensed Malgrim scrambling to draw his rapier.
Had she earned Despard’s anger?
Leaning his chin against her coolan, he whispered, “Follow my lead. You’re in danger here.”
Her body sagged with relief. He wasn’t angry. She could face danger together.
“I’ll take this bed warmer for what you owe me,” said Despard, pulling her a step away from Malgrim.
Bed warmer? What did that even mean?
“Thank you for your help, Malgrim,” Kahyla said, catching her breath. “You’ll get your payment later at the minstrel’s guild.”
A beat passed before Malgrim recovered in true minstrel fashion. “I see I’ll leave you with good protection.”

#WIPSnips #amquerying #writesky #epicfantasy 💙📚 🪐📚 From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. Despard leaves his guard post to rescue drowning refugees.

A light haired form snatched at a rope, hands slipping and pulling as the rope grew taut, then sank again. A dark silhouette beat at the water's surface, rising then falling in the silt-dark waves. He threw the rope bag to the more panicked figure, then approached the other struggling shape.
Cursing his stupidity for getting involved, Despard swam closer and tried to grab the drowner. Backing away when the figure clawed at his arms, he re-aligned behind them. He tried again, holding out his arms to sandwich them into a horizontal float. Bumping against an unexpectedly soft chest, he got bashed with an elbow and let go. She dropped lower. A surge of water pressure against his legs signaled her location within the center channel. He spat out river water, tasting rotten pennywort and mud.
How much longer could she last? Dredged for cargo boats, the river here was deep but slow. Even late in the season, disturbed mud clouded the water, making it impossible for him to find her if she didn't surface. Would she bump against a canal skiff or wash up on a sandbar with the kelp, drowned like his cousin? When the search party pulled the lost fool from the reeds, his face was gray and swollen.
A ghostly swipe skittered across his shin.

On this day in 1948, epic fantasy master George R.R. Martin was born! From Westeros to the Iron Throne, his A Song of Ice and Fire series completely redefined the fantasy genre for a whole generation of readers. #OnThisDay #GeorgeRRMartin #GameOfThrones #FantasyBooks #EpicFantasy #BookSky #ASOIAF
