Unveiled — Trisha Wolfe

A Fireblood Prequel Novella

Amongst the wasteland lies the gleaming city of Karm. A Camelot-esque utopia built from the ashes of a dying world.

Seventeen-year-old Fallon is no daughter of Karm.

She's its assassin.

Raised by a secret society of rebels, she's bent on bringing down the king's sham of an existence. But her first mark, one of the king's top knights of the Force, makes her question everything. Even her heart.

Excerpt:


The torches cast eerie, affecting shadows against the stone walls as the celebration heightens and the dancing begins. Candlelight flickers from each table in the great hall of Karm Castle, and I watch as the little flame before me bows and sways to the music.
   
      I think how easy it would be to snuff out that tiny flame and a shiver crawls along my spine, knowing that's exactly why I'm here.   

      The kingdom of Karm surrounds us. The air we breathe, the grass, the water, the sky above--with its faint shimmer of voltage. Karm protects us from Outside. The wasteland.

           It's home.     

           And it's death.
