Now that Candra and Ben have successfully entered the sixteenth century and left Alaric in the future, it’s up to them to stop Ulric and Daciana’s banishment to the Otherworld. But there’s more to this secretive past than they thought; they not only have to find the wolf that bit their ancestors, but also deal with the town witch, who has the original power to destroy them all.
Genre: JUVENILE FICTION / Fantasy & MagicBlood Moon has hovered anywhere between 5,000 and 75,000 in Amazon ranks since its publication in 2013. Typically, I sell more than 25+ copies a month of this book.
Ben stirs, gradually awakening. He bolts out of his bed once the realization of where he’s at hits him. Eyes darting from the women to me, he asks, “What’s going on?”
I smirk and fold my arms across my chest. “They were just explaining how we’d be of use to them.” Consider this, Ben, we could slither into the viper’s nest and strike internally when the need arises. Play along before you blow a blood vessel.
They poisoned us! You expect me to pretend like that didn’t happen?
Yeah, I kind of do.
Puffing out a dramatic sigh between his lips, he switches his interest to the ladies positioned ahead of us and coolly solicits, “What do you want?”
The creepy old woman grumbles, “Ye are lucky to have thy lives. Do not fail to notice our mercy.” She licks her wrinkly, chapped lips and says, “We need to know who bit ye. There are so few like us that we must be chary in our attempts to keep the bloodlines unsoiled. First, ye shall explain to us how thy curse came to pass.”
Ben and I share a sideways glance, uncertain how to approach the subject. On one hand, we can explain that we’re from the future, and we weren’t exactly bitten. On the other hand, we can outright lie about the circumstances which led us here. But the longer we take to deliberate, the more apprehensive these hags will become.
“We’ve been sworn to keep our lives a secret,” I state, “which means we can’t advise you who sunk their teeth into us, or why. All we can tell you is that we don’t mean to cause mischief, and we aren’t out for blood. If, however, you stand in our way, we’ll have no choice but to stop you.”
