Dragon Defense (Heirs to the Throne book 3)
“The shuttle gently settled to the ground, but Bryant held back and counted heartbeats. Clang. The ominous sound shattered the silence as a door opened. A spacer peered into the night, outlined against the internal glow of the ship. A flashing display of lights looked similar to the castle’s control room.
The man climbed out and dashed toward the castle with the fluid grace of a predator. Bryant left his guards behind to capture the shuttle pilot while he stalked the wary spacer. He kn...ew every flaw in the castle grounds. His adversary, unaccustomed to exercising stealth under double moons, crunched through dry leaves, tripped over uneven stepping stones, and brandished a weapon that reflected moonlight. Bryant hugged the deepest red shadows and tread across the softest areas of grass. His breathing mimicked the sound of a sighing breeze, a trick Marasuta taught him. He crept close holding his dagger tight against his body. Although the spacer betrayed himself with each step, the deadly weapon he brought equalized mistakes. Donovan described the power of spacer weapons, a technology outlawed on Drako, and Bryant understood the spacer’s advantage. His attention riveted on the weapon, Bryant deliberated on methods of disarming the spacer. He wished he’d set up an ambush!MoreLess
