**Exclusive SNEAK PEEK** of Zeturnisc Li Book 1

This is a sneak peek of my first book, I can’t wait to know what you think of it!

“You killed Rome,” Tian snarled, collecting himself and pointing his blade at me. “And soon everyone will know.”

We locked eyes, then swords.

“End this, Tian,” I commanded, glad my voice didn’t shake this time. His arms strained, and I could feel the tremors running through his body with the effort it took to push back.

“Never,” he answered sharply, pressing even harder. Silhouetted by the castle in the red sunset, it looked like his wings had turned to ruby—or blood. 

That thought forced me to swallow vomit.

“I didn’t,” I replied, my eyes unable to leave his tinted wings. “You know I didn’t.”

I couldn’t say the same about him.

“I hate you,” Tian vowed, and I could tell he meant it with every fiber of his being. He shivered against my sword, glaring at me. “You are a deadly, psychopathic, maniacal mutant!”

Mutant.

The word felt alien, coming from him.

But it fit.

Tian started to pull away, but my power surged suddenly, magic overwhelming my senses, fading the world to white until my sight cleared.

And then I saw it.

A vision.

 Tian ripped his sword away from mine, lunging to the side as I stumbled forward to regain my balance.

He stabbed me repeatedly before I could recover. Once, twice, three times, four times.

The sword plunged into my heart, knocking the breath out of me. Agony like never before screamed through my veins, and my knees buckled. This wasn’t the pain spell. This was fiercer, deeper than ever before. Every thought was ice, every movement fire. My limbs seized, and black spots filled my eyes. My body went numb, all of it, except for my heart. The torture was indescribable, stabbing through second, through every gasp, until all that was left was darkness.

I dropped Starfall, the sword clattering out of my limp hand onto the courtyard stones.

Joining His.

I stood frozen, unable to process the scene my mind had shown me. My anger dissolved, leaving the world spinning around me, the reality crashing over me like a tidal wave.

My heartbeat pounded in my eardrums, fighting rebelliously against the vision.

My sight flickered, and I felt my Time Power separate me from time itself. I wanted to scream, cry, sob, shout, laugh—anything—but all I could do was think. Tian couldn’t—wouldn’t…

I couldn’t even think the word.

He wasn’t that person. He couldn’t do that, not to me. Tian was my brother. Sure, he was angry, but that wasn’t reason for… for that.

Tian was scared, he was mad, he was grieving. But he wasn’t a killer.

You may not know these characters yet, but you will! I’ve just finished writing out the full story and now it’s on to minor corrections and edits before I’m ready to go to the final stage: Publishing!
