Welcome to Rainbow Snippets! Today, Callum meets the Barrow-Wight…
* * *
Callum whimpered as the low tones wound through his head. The mists parted and moonlight filled the barrow, showing him the creature. He gasped at the cold beauty of its face. Eyes dark as pitch burned into him and brushed against his soul. Lush lips, dripping honey, overripe, took his mouth in a kiss that sent his pulse into a riot of hunger and desire.
A vague warning sounded in his head, urging him to run.
CALLUM’S FATE –coming February 4 from Wayward Ink Publishing
In 1780, Scotland, following a harsh year of drought, Callum Mackenzie is forced from his father’s farm in the hopes of finding work.
But as fate would have it, Callum is lured onto the moors by the will-o-the-wisp. Lost in the dark, he falls into enchantment, encountering faeries and nymphs, until he stumbles into the arms of a licentious Barrow-Wight who lays claim to his soul.
Hearing his silent pleas, Donal sends Liam the gruagach (faery) to rescue Callum and bring him to his farm, a place of refuge from the Fae. Callum is happy working on Donal’s farm, slowly falling in love with the beautiful, silver-haired gruagach.
Yet there’s something wrong in the nearby forest…
Despite Donal’s warnings, Callum is lured into the forest and becomes tangled in its magic, easy prey for the Barrow-Wight. Will Liam be able to strike a deal with the Barrow-Wight to save Callum’s life, or has Callum found his last resting place instead?
Sensual and scary!
Ooh. Danger in the form of honey lips. I hope he can be saved.
I love the honey-dripping lips. Very beautiful, very sensual. ❤ Can't wait to read the whole thing.
yeah, he’s not going to run…
Ooh the more I see the more I want to see. I know I’m going to love this one
Who would want to flee from that? As always, the way you write is spellbinding and beautiful.
Barrow wights! The undead are a scary, scary thing.
Love the way that sensuality and danger merge into one.
Wow that description of the kiss is amazing. Also, barrow-wights, how cool.
Run, Callum, run!
