“Closer and closer, they hauled her like a bucking horse toward the open cell door.
The two waiting guards sniggered, eyes on the flap of the robe that fell open as she kicked, revealing her thighs, her stomach, everything to them. Elide sobbed, even as she knew the tears would do her no good. They just laughed, devouring her with their eyes—
Until a hand with glittering iron nails shoved through the throat of one of them, puncturing it wholly. The guards froze, the one at the door whirling at the spray of blood—
He screamed as his eyes were slashed into ribbons by one hand, his throat shredded by another.
Both guards collapsed to the ground, revealing Manon Blackbeak standing behind them.
Blood ran down her hands, her forearms.
And Manon’s golden eyes glowed as if they were living embers as she looked at the two guards gripping Elide. As she beheld the disheveled robe.
They released Elide to grab their weapons, and she sagged to the floor.
Manon just said, “You’re already dead men.”
And then she moved.”

His blue eyes narrowed. "I hate the way you talk.”

Skilled artisans had built wonderful, terraced homes and small flats overlooking gardens and fields under a clear cloudless sky.

Every pantry had a tall, glass bottle of local olive oil and a cupboard full of sugo jars.”
