Excerpt
Chapter 1
I’ve never
questioned the Mistress’ need for starrbriars.
In the almost
fourteen years I’ve lived under her roof, I’ve accepted it without thought. But
as I pick my way across the cliff, searching the ever-present darkness for the
small flowers, I wonder what is so important about them.
The wind picks up
and I skid a little, the cliff icy from the spray of the waterfall. I step back
as I glance into my bag—it’s almost empty. We’ve exhausted the easily gathered
supply of flowers.
I feel someone’s
gaze, and resist looking behind me. Instead, I crouch down, drawn by a stunted
flower growing on the side of the precipice. I tug it free, and stare into the
churning water, broken on the rocks far below me. Which child will be lowered
into that this time? Who will risk their life at the whim of our Mistress?
A scream, haunting
and primal, fills the air, rising above the roar of the waterfall and I jerk,
losing my balance for a dizzying moment. My hands slip on the ice, sliding
until I find a grip. For a long moment, I stay still, waiting for my heartbeat
to steady. Then I crawl backwards, barely breathing as I edge away from the
drop-off. I see blood on the rocks, and belatedly, I feel the sting on my palm.
Edge of the Falls will be available on Nook and Kindle in just over two weeks! And the
blog tour starts March 4th! Check out my website for more details.
