Briar Rose
“Joshua had never felt so powerless. It’d all gone wrong. Pat and Reena were probably badly injured, perhaps even dead, while he and Briar were being marched to the regent and whatever gruesome death that lunatic felt they deserved.
It was a true nightmare on steroids, something right out of the Brothers Grimm. Those two had always gone for the darker tales, like the one where a queen’s feet were clamped into red hot iron shoes, and she was forced to dance herself to death. Or the one where ...a father had to chop off his daughter’s hands so the devil wouldn’t carry her off.
They’d love this tale.
Reena had been right – the curse was changing and adapting. It was a chess game with no rules and all the pieces were on the other side. How could they defeat something like that?
Joshua thought of his family, his hometown. What if four of Bliss’s teens died in their sleep? How would the reporters spin that one?MoreLess
