Excerpt
The moonlight made Lilah hum with power, giving her
abilities a much-needed boost. She glanced at Roth, still out on the ground.
She didn’t want to reveal her bow and arrows to him, lest he guess where she
got them. Anything that gave him any insight into her past was a threat to her
future. But there was no other way out. Lilah stilled and summoned her bow. It
sprang from her grasp, a wisp of silver growing into the curved tips and taut
string. It resonated with power in her hands as she pulled a similarly
effervescent arrow from her quiver.
The fury’s wings, translucent and covered in a fine black
fur, flapped to keep her hovering above the ground. Lilah noticed the fury
examining the markings on her neck. She pointed at Lilah and said, “Not you,
servant of Artemis. My master wants the incubus.”
“The incubus is mine. If you want him, you’ll have to go
through me first.” The glow of the moon and her instinct made her ready,
spoiling even, for this fight. It had been far too long.
“So be it,” the fury rasped before splaying her claws and
diving for Lilah. Its battle cry pierced the night.
Lilah rolled to the left and let her arrow fly, punching
through the creature’s wing and soaring off into the night. The fury let out a
shriek that had blood running from Lilah’s ears. But she didn’t care. She was
in her element.
