Rise Like a Phoenix
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble -- EXCERPT: When Crooked Nose punched, David blocked. Then, with a quick elbow movement, he smacked the man’s face with the end of the rope before stepping back. The effect was rather comical. Crooked threw another punch. David pounced, wrapping the rope around the man’s wrist. Yanking the tied arm back made him double over. His eyes turned cold and hard. “Who sent you?” The man’s breath sawed in and out. “You’ve no idea whose daughter you’ve run away with, do you?” He pulled Crooked’s arm straight back some more. “Enlighten me.” “Make her tell you,” he hissed. David swallowed a lump in his throat. “She hides nothing from me.” He then snapped the man’s arm at the elbow, and grabbed Elisabeth’s hand, pulling her to a run. Her breath hitched, and the colorful bouquet of wildflowers dropped. “By the gods!” David led the way through a field of grazing sheep, toward a grove of trees. “Your father is here?” “No…” She shook her head in denial. “No, he can’t be…can he?” “You tell me!” Elisabeth let out an uncontrollable whimper. If Dad found out she was time-traveling—she was so grounded.
