THE eBOOK IS LIVE!
The gates of Byzantium are opening! Today, I’m sharing an exclusive excerpt from Trunk of Scrolls to give you a taste of the journey ahead.
Belisarius’s presence struck me as regal, dignified, and mature. The perfect new Roman. He bore a nobleman’s haircut—rounded and short—not a soldier’s. His short beard declared him a diplomat, his Herculean body declared him a seasoned warrior.
​
As the renowned general walked toward us, his tapestry robe swished and swaggered side to side. The jewel-trimmed fabric, woven in reds and purples, blues and blacks, presented a cacophony of birds: crows, hawks, eagles, vultures. If the garment displayed songbirds or peacocks, I would not know. I only saw the clawed avian.
​
His arm stretched out toward Byziana. “My dear! To see you again after so many years is a delight to my eyes!” She took his hand and looked at the floor, breathless and speechless, certainly thinking still of her appearance. His words pleased her, for she smoothed her robe again, peeking into his face coyly like she had at the banquet night six years ago.
​
Was she considering him as a husband? Was she wondering if he would be loyal and faithful and loving? Does she know that he . . .? I commanded the thought to cease.
But what secrets does Marcellus hide? And will Byziana find the hope she’s seeking, or lose everything in the journey?
The answers lie ahead in Trunk of Scrolls.
