Shapeling Trilogy Book One (Six-Sentence Sunday #3)

7/10/2011

14 Comments

 
Six-Sentence Sunday--Follow the fun! You can navigate to other six-sentence authors from the SSS website.  Better yet, join the fun with your own six sentences.

Instead of continuing Perky's interrogation of Wells Ashby, here's a snippet from my just released ebook and soon to be available paperback:
Shapeling Trilogy Book One: Roth: Protector

Set up:
Roth Beowolf is about to receive an important mission from his elders.

Roth soared high again, intent on reaching the Cave of Thirteen before sunrise. He arrived in record time. Gently landing and pulling his wings closed, he lowered his head and prayed to the Source, repeating the Prayer of Secrecy he had been taught as a child by his Guide. Before the last word in the prayer had been uttered, he no longer had wings or talons; he now stood tall on two feet, his raven hair long and whipped by the wind. Pale blue eyes that observed everything looked upward in a gesture of respect for the Source. Wearing only white linen breeches, he flexed and stretched his lean muscular form, feeling the rush that always accompanied a shapeshift.

A hearty thank you for reading my contribution! I look forward to Six-Sentence Sunday every week and appreciate your comments!

Nice, smooth transition into human form. He sounds strong and sexy and respectful of the Source. I want to know more about him.

That's a shifter type you don't see as often. Intriguing.

BTW, if you're interested, there's a new more speculative fiction of six sentence event that recently started: http://scififansat.blogspot.com/.
