[Atlantean's Quest 01] The Arrival - Plot & Excerpts
It would be dark in an hour or so. The last of the gold beams waltzed with the outstretched shadows. The wild man had been running for hours. Any normal man would have dropped from exhaustion by now, but not her giant.He carefully pulled her off his shoulder and set her down, steadying her with his hands, waiting until her legs had enough strength to support her weight. He unsheathed his knife and cut the vines from her mouth and hands, replacing the blade when he’d finished.Rachel tried to spit the gag out but couldn’t. She grasped the hanky and tugged it from her parched mouth. Her whole body hurt, from head to toe.

The heat generated from his fingers astonished Rachel, and for a second she thought she actually saw them glow.
