Wall Men: Book Three, a Vow Kept
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- SNEAK PEEK: He suddenly lunges and hurtles toward my mouth. Not for a kiss. For an invasion. I feel Bard’s ice-cold form slide down my throat and push inside me. Is he punishing me because I won’t do as he says? No Ones used to be the equivalent of the Monsterland police, the creatures who hunted you down if you broke one of the vows written on my body. Then they’d eat you, heal you, and eat you again. Apparently they’re gifted at healing and killing. I don’t know what their role is these days. Bard keeps his cards close. “Get out of me!” The pain is intense as he passes through my organs, veins, and head. I feel him moving around like a blizzard beneath my skin. “What are you doing?” I bellow, throwing back my head, grabbing fistfuls of sheets. Master doesn’t stop barking. Someone pounds at the door—probably one of the guards. I can’t get up or move. Bard did this to me once before, back when I was human. He scratched around inside me, looking for something, until I ejected him. That’s what I need to do. Push him out. I flex every muscle in my body, planning to squeeze him like an orange until he pops from my mouth, but suddenly, something happens. The burning hunger in my stomach cools. My mind calms. I almost feel like me again. Is Bard healing me? I exhale, and a plume of smoke comes from my mouth. Bard’s eerie face is over mine, a smile on his lips. “What did you do?” I whisper. “Sleep, Lake.”
