Sneak Preview from Darkness Unbound
Here's a taste of DARKNESS UNBOUND, releasing November 21. For those of you who love the brothers, Kane and Markus, as much as me I couldn't resist sharing this scene between the two of them. They are such hilarious characters:
Kane planted his butt on the closed toilet and
pressed his thumbs into his eye sockets, desperate to halt the hum in his
brain.
“You’re freaking me out, Kane.”
Kane blinked at Markus in the doorway. “Yeah. I
know.”
“What’s up?”
“I’ve just been strapped into a rollercoaster
from hell with no brakes.”
“I thought that shit you did in Sumatra going in
with Astrid to free twenty kidnap victims was insane. After that stunt
everything else is a downhill slide. What could be worse than that?”
“They made me one of them.”
“Who made you one of what?” Markus blew a green
bubble whose small pop echoed in the bathroom.
“A magus. They made me a magus. Like Astrid.”
Kane pressed his thumb into the side of his forehead. The easy way out of this
migraine was to see Kira, but he wouldn’t.
Markus blew another bubble. It popped. He
smacked a few loud chews. “Oh.”
Kane grinned. “That’s it? That’s all you’ve got
for me? And here I thought you might pull some piece of earth-shattering
philosophy out of your ass to clear my mind fuck.” He shook his head and
chuckled.
Markus lifted his shoulders and dropped them. He
chewed his gum open-mouthed in a grin. “Could be worse.”
“How?”
“You could’ve borrowed a Persian
sandstone icon from a sheik who got pissed and took out an international
contract on your life.”
“I got you out of that one,” Kane said. “Not
easily. It cost me a lot, but I got you free.”
“Yeah, but you hitched me a ride out of Turkey
in a chicken truck. There were like a thousand of those scrawny turds in there
with me. They’re mean little bastards when they’re hungry. One tried to eat my
thumb. I still have nightmares that half my thumb’s gone, and I wake up with
the smell of chicken shit in my nostrils.”
A snort
laugh erupted from Kane. “You win.”
