![]() Shrouded Kingdom
-- Only 99¢ for a limited time! -- EXCERPT: The hiss of an arrow barely missing my head made my stomach plummet to my feet. The thud of the sharp tip ploughing into the ground next to the tree nearby forced my body into action. I didn’t even pause to look behind me. “Wait!” someone shouted. As if I would wait for the same person to shoot me with an arrow. My threadbare leather shoes attacked the dry earth like acorns when they thudded against the ground. A slight breeze caught my hair, making it fly behind me. The skirt of my ice blue dress almost got caught under my feet, so I grabbed it up into my hands and ran as fast as I could. “Go away,” I whispered between laboured breaths. The whistle of another arrow brought on a yelp as my heart leapt into my throat. It landed behind me, the echo of it piercing the earth far too close for comfort. Trees were silently strong around me as I kept my focus on the village. It was only a short distance. I would be safe there. Silence suddenly surrounded me, the whisper of wind gone, the patter of my feet slowed down, as if I was moving in slow motion. What was happening? “Are you well, Layanna?” he called as I came to a stop. His light brown eyes watched me as I straightened my skirts and cleared my throat. A quick glance over my shoulder confirmed that no one had followed me from the woods although, I still couldn’t shake the feeling of foreboding that rushed over me. ![]()
