A VOW TO KEEP (The Vengeance Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Lady Catherine’s Herbal Journal The acrid smell of smoke stung Royce’s nostrils and burned deep in his lungs, bringing him from a peaceful dream to the familiar but still terrifying nightmare. Dragging himself from the comfort of his warm bed, he fell to the floor where cool, clean air greeted him. “Mother? Father?” he called out weakly. Where were they? Still coughing from the smoke, he hurried to the door and wrenched it open, determined to find them. His heart stopped at the sight of flames crawling up the walls of the adjoining chamber but he moved onward. His eyes watered from the thick, dark smoke that blocked his vision and filled his lungs. “Mother? Father?” he called again, louder this time. He reached the top of the stairs, certain he heard voices in the hall below. Why hadn’t they come for him? Surely he would be safe if he could reach them. He slid down the rough, wooden stairs, beckoned by the sound of their voices. His mother’s scream brought him to a halt, sending tremors of fear through him.
