The Demon Lord (A Demon Outlaws Novella) (Entangled Edge) - Plot & Excerpts
She was late, and he was impatient. The passage of time chafed at him. He had thought of a gift for her, one that would express his love and make her smile for him in return. Flowers bloomed in the basin of the dried pool of goddess rain, and he’d crafted a demonstration for her. A noise in the cottonwoods caught his attention. He turned, ready to fight. The only thing that saved the gnarled little woman was her shaved head. He recognized her as the priestess who had been spying on him for quite some time now, and he thought at first she might carry a message for him from Allia. She kept her head down, with her eyes fixed on the cool, dew-dampened grass beneath her bare, misshapen feet, and waited for him to speak first. He wondered how long she had been watching him before she approached. He was becoming too careless. Allia consumed his thoughts to the exclusion of everything else, particularly here in a place that was theirs alone, and he did not like this intrusion.
