Wings of Darkness: book 1 of the Immortal Sorrows Series
“At least for me. Wake…party…sideshow, more like it. I felt like I was Fate’s pet freak. She’d dressed me up like a doll and trotted me out for everyone to see. Literally, dozens of pairs of eyes had watched my every move, all evening long. Some were fascinated, some were disgusted, and all had judged me. Did they know I’d been the one to kill Mairya, or did they only suspect? I tried to tell myself that it didn’t matter; if they had proof it was me, then I would already be dead. I was just so tired of being scared all of the time. I was worried for my family, for Asher, for myself. It was exhausting.
Clotho had used me to taunt Asher, and I was afraid it might have worked. Asher had looked almost jealous to see me talking to that demi-demon, and on the one hand, that made my heart leap and do a little happy dance. On the other hand, jealousy was the last thing I wanted Asher to feel for me. That would only give Clotho hope that she would get what she wanted, eventually.... After Asher walked away with Suriel for a few moments, my heart had dropped into my stomach. There was zero chance of getting out of this mess alive, much less unharmed. Suriel obviously didn’t know about the sick game Clotho was determined to play, but it was clear that he wanted me put down like some rabid animal. Incredibly, when he and Asher came back, Suriel was all smiles.MoreLess
