Ashen Rayne (Shadowlands Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Lightning crackled across a sullen purple sky and thunder rolled, shaking the building. Smoak and Ashley stepped out onto the hospital’s roof and jogged toward the southern face, where the hardware for the For Sale banner still sat, awaiting retrieval from a sign company that was never coming. Most of the gear was junk, but a roll of the heavy nylon rope used to position the banner was still useable. Smoak cut several lengths and pulled a handful of carabineers from her pack. Ten minutes later, she had two makeshift rappelling lines attached to roof anchor points. “Are you sure about this?” Smoak asked. “No!” Ashley replied. “I haven’t done this in years, but I don’t see how we have a choice.” “I’ll go first,” Smoak said. “Count to three and follow me down.” She didn’t wait for Ashley to answer. She backed off the roof and vanished into the rain, making three short jumps to end just above a set of eleventh-floor windows.
