Soon to be published.
BLURB:
In this return to the Island
of Fyre , each of the
heros and heroines of the three previous books have children. Lorton is the
youngest son of the Wizards of Fyre and he has bonded with the yellow dragon.
The dragon through the magic of the stones has been rejuvenated and is now
green. Dragon sends Lorton to travel to where the Dragons of Fyre are raised.
There he meets Arkon son of the hero and heroine of the Dragons of Fyre. There
have been four eggs laid and there must be two young men and two young women
found to bond with them. On the island where the evil wizards were exiled,
Cerene has grown up as little more than a slave. She can use all the fyrestones
unlike her father. She learns about the kidnapping of Riara, daughter of the
hero and heroine of the Temple
of Fyre and vows to save
her. The four must unite with their dragons and finally destroy the evil.
EXCERPT:
Riara finished her session on the temple pyramid where
fyrestones were used and dismissed the two orange and three yellow priestesses.
“Well done.” She tucked her red stone beneath her tunic. Today they had brought
rain to distant farmlands. Over the years since her parents had ruled the temple of Fyre , this land had been reclaimed from
the desert. She sank on a bench in the outer courtyard. The bright autumn sun
warmed her. Using the fyrestones weakened her and she knew she must eat to
regain her energy. Not yet. She
closed her eyes and wished her life wasn’t so boring. Her older siblings served
in village temples. Her parents kept her at home to hone her skills.
“Priestess, priestess.” A young man dashed into the
courtyard. “I’ve come to warn you about trouble ahead.”
Riara looked up and frowned. His hair was a dirty blond
color and she couldn’t see his eyes. The wide brim of his hat kept his face in
the shadows. “Where are you from and who are you?”
“I am apprenticed to a fisherman from the coast. In the
past few weeks, carrion crows have gathered on the shore. They are omens of
trouble. One of our village fishermen saw a tra…slaver ship. Haven’t they been
banished from the isle?”
“They have.” She continued to study him. Something didn’t
seem right but she couldn’t naysay him. “Come with me and speak to the Chief
Priest and Priestess.” Perhaps her parents could learn if her suspicions were
true or false. She walked into the small audience chamber and beckoned the
young man forward.
Her parents sat on their raised chairs. She smiled as they
dismissed a young couple facing them. Her mother looked up. “Riara, was there
trouble with bringing rain?”
“None. This young man has a story you must hear.” For a
moment, she felt as if she would faint.
Her father scowled. “Have you eaten?”
She shook her head. “Not yet.”
“How often must we remind you of the need to sustain your
body?”
She felt her face heat. “I thought his was a story you
needed to hear.”
“We will,” her mother said. “Go.”
Riara left the inner court and hurried to the refectory.
Once again she’d proved her parents right. She knew after using the fyrestones
for an extended period of time she must eat. Once again she had neglected the
rule. She selected fresh fruit, poultry and mashed roots. Her first taste of
food sent her to ravishingly devouring every bite on the plate. Each swallow of
food gave her a burst of energy. As she swallowed the list bit, a fledgling
priest appeared.
“You are summoned into the presence of the Chief Priestess
and Priest.”

I can see trouble a'coming.
I feel something just isn't right with this visitor thanks to your excellent storytelling.

The boy's story promises to take the story in a new and interesting direction.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, isn't she?
Great excerpt -and world building. I don't think I trust that young man though, or am I following a red herring? :)
