Moonblood (Tales Of Goldstone Wood Book #3) - Plot & Excerpts
Varvare, however, staring into her mirror, saw none of these things. Instead she saw rags being draped tenderly across her hunched frame, and a crown of thistles and thorns set onto the bald dome of her head. The veils of her father could not work on her eyes. They could not cover the ugly features of her attendants, some of whom laughed as they prepared her, and some of whom gazed at her sorrowfully.She knew from their faces, their voices, even their laughter, that Vahe intended to kill her. She simply couldn’t guess why.When they had finished with her, the senior attendant took her by the hand and led her from her chambers and down what most perceived as a glowing marble stairway softly carpeted in rose petals, but which Varvare saw as poorly carved stone, sharp and ragged underfoot.Vahe waited for her in the Boy’s body. Though to the rest of Arpiar he covered the Boy’s face with his own, Varvare still saw the soft, boyish features as yet unhardened into a man’s, the hazel eyes, the messy shock of honey-colored hair.
