I've been sharing from my WIP, The Tree of Life, where Kirin is trying to prevent her mother from discovering her interest in Rio, the Shapeshifter who managed to give her mother, Isis, the slip while in the rainforest in Brazil. Sehkmet has just entered the royal family discussion and announced that Luc can sense Rio's presence because they share the same DNA strand...
"They’ve grown too powerful. I heard about what happened. He defied Isis? They’re dangerous. Let me take care of this problem now.”
Osiris held up his hand to still Sekhmet’s tirade. “It seems Kirin and Luc are going to undertake this mission. They will take Mukhtar with them.” “Prince Mukhtar?” Kirin asked. “The Bedouin,” Isis responded thoughtfully. “Yes, a perfect choice. Mukhtar, son of Sheikh Abdul Kummel al-Rahman, leader of the Hassana, one of our most faithful allies. Keep your secrets for now, Kirin. You'll not have them for long."
I hope you enjoyed the snippet I shared for Elizabeth this week. Please visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors and Sunday Snippet authors for more fun reads! Don't forgot to follow the blog hops for lots of fun prizes amd gift cards...last chance to sign up!

Uncomfortable family dynamics, Elizabeth! Kirin is going to have to watch herself.

Those last two lines are the sort that come with a crash of thunder or a maniacal laugh... I'd be worried if I was Kirin!

That's the tricky part of having a goddess for a mother- very hard to keep secrets!

So is this new character going along to help or to hinder? Interesting excerpt!

It must be I need new glasses. The print for the snippet is hard to read. My mind supplied the maniacal laugh. Thunder, too. LOL Good snippet.

Those last two lines! Excuse my language, but... That undermining little bitch. The mother is clever, very clever. I hope Kirin finds a way to outsmart her mother's tag along ally and her. (I know I've said this before, but I LOVE that cover!)
