Six-Sentence: An Excerpt from CROWN OF ASH

Welcome to Six-Sentence Sunday!  Thanks to some helpful feedback from Lib, CROWN OF ASH is rocking ahead on all cylinders.  I may get to work on it more tonight while I’m sitting in a coffee shop waiting for my daughter’s prom to be done. ;D

This week, Cross makes a terrifying discovery as he is trapped in the Palace of Razors, the stronghold of a dark cadre of mages in control of the Whisperlands…

The blade was heavy in his hands as he approached the murals. 

They all showed a spider – the spider, his spider, a giant there, enormous, a pale monstrosity ready to burst with young – as it devoured cities.  Mounds of humans fell before the creature’s onslaught.  In the murals she was vast, like some legged insectoid moon.  Buildings and monuments collapsed beneath her.  People, their faces pale with horror, fell into dark rips left in the earth by her monstrous razor limbs.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to Six Sunday and check out the other participating authors!
