Excerpt from Secrets of the Ebonite Mines...on kindle for $2.99. Garius held The Repentant in one hand, its head dipped toward the pale-skinned female as his words reached their crescendo. He launched a wave of divine energy toward the woman, who countered it with a spell of her own. “Warlock!” he claimed, hearing her speak the prayers to Hecate. “Your dark mistress will not be your salvation as you so thought! Rather, she will give you false hope, casting death and deceit upon you until she is your undoing!” “Unlikely, priest,” Helene replied calmly, meeting his spell with a blast of eldritch origins. The two energies met and fizzled to nothingness. She quickly spoke words once more and the tiny demon that sat upon her shoulder began to shift in size as the warlock’s own eyes shone white. The creature’s muscles grew, its wings spread and its teeth and fangs elongated. “I am no priest. I am the combined might of all priests from all divinities…and I wield their combined powers! I am an Inquisitor…and no demon shall pass before me without feeling the strength of the Gods of Order!” roared Garius. He sent another wave of holy energy forth, pushing it out from his very core and the demon shrieked in pain. For several heartbeats, the demon could not be seen, hidden and bathed in the white, radiant light until it dissipated, leaving naught but the stunned warlock behind, a look of dread upon her pale features. “No!” she shrieked from behind her crimson lips. “You shall pay for that!” She whispered something again and blackened bands of unholy energy shot forth from everywhere on her body at once, surrounding Garius and wrapping themselves around him. Before he could react, they were about him and his blood red armor was all but covered beneath the ebon bands. On and again she uttered the prayer to her demon lady as the bands tightened about him. He felt his breath escape his lungs. He found he was unable to replace it as his chest could not expand beneath the might of the magical restraints. His vision began to dim. amazon/dp/B008EFALNO
