The lovely Mae Clair has tagged me in her post The Lucky Seven. Thanks for the nomination Mae–it is my first and I hope I do it justice.

The challenge –

To post seven lines from an unpublished work of fiction. My current WIP is a young adult fantasy romance. It’s the second in a series and is titled “By The Sword.” The first in the series is releasing in November with Lyrical Press, Inc.

So the rules –

• Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript (fiction or non-fiction).
• Go to line 7.
• Post on your blog the next 7 lines, or sentences, as they are–no cheating.
• Tag 7 other authors to do the same–and have fun.

“I see it. Only Kate will despise him for what he withholds.  He’s kept our world of Magio from her, not considering her strong enough to deal with Donaldo or his wrath.  He even keeps my existence hidden.  How could he? I’m his daughter, and hers.”

Destroyer shoved into my shoulder and Goldie tightened her hold on his lead, pulling him back into line.  Blowing out a breath, she planted her feet wide.  “I do not defend the poor choice Alexo made, only he was young, eighteen himself when you were born. He rarely asks for help.  Let’s give him the week he’s asked for.”

And my seven lucky nominees are –
