Snippet Sunday: She’s given him the slip…The Gryphon and His Thief @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

Welcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I'd change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.

If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link. Chapter 2 #2

Set up: This takes place a few paragraphs after last week. Calli survived her nutty escape out the window, but she is far from safe. Darrien finally snaps into action and goes after her.

*The excerpt was modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.

***********************************************************

Changing forms, he took flight as the creature men feared, both eagle and lion, fierce and unrelenting when pursuing a thief, but this woman proved not to be a coward. She was brave and worthy of the chase. His wings flapped, one, two, three times, the wind guiding him until he flew above her. She glanced up at him and anticipated his intent with keen eyes of her own. As he dove at her, his talons stretched and readied to tear, she whirled around at the same time and released the weapon she wielded in her hand. Her dagger flew straight and true like an arrow meant to slay a beast on a hunt. His eyes widened in admiration at her skill, and he neatly avoided being slain as he switched shapes again, disappearing into the wind in his ether form, and the dagger harmlessly went through him. Before he could materialize once more, she had jumped in her vehicle and drove away as if the wind itself could give the metal beast flight.

***********************************************************

Calli gave Darrien the slip again. Darrien may be impressed by her skills, but I doubt the fight is over. What do you think? lol  Stop by next week to find out.

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at The Gryphon and His Thief.

Blurb:

Some Treasures are Priceless…

A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.

Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate's Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.

As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.
