Lord of Dragons (Book 2)
“In all outward appearances they were normal, sane people who lived clean, industrious lives. But as the day waned and the shadows grew thick across the verdant grounds surrounding the temple of the earth, the once tightly wound people relaxed and talked boisterously with each other, sharing citrus fruit and figs, olives, fresh bread, and pistachios. Groups of young men laughed as they skinned rabbits and roasted the meat over smoldering, smoking fires.
The smell of wine wafted into Sebine's nos...trils and with the delicious scents of roasted meat, her mouth drooled in expectant delight. As if reading her thoughts, a young woman with long, black hair that spun and danced in playful curls handed her a glass of red wine and a thin stick crammed with meat and onions and potatoes. Sebine thanked her and the girl leaned over and planted a warm kiss on each of her cheeks. The young woman blushed and scampered away, giggling and casting mischievous eyes at her friends.
The lips of the singing priestess were red like the wine swirling in Sebine's mouth, and the princess watched the woman stretch out her long, slender arms in expressive, snake-like movements, as if her body were possessed by the sadness of the song.MoreLess
