Shantel Tessier Lords Books In Order นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“It’s like the temple itself is watching us.” Bram rolled his shoulders. “Then let it watch. We don’t have time to be scared of walls.” They walked in tense silence until the passage opened into another chamber, this one vast and lined with towering obelisks. At its center stood a pedestal, atop which lay a worn book bound in deep blue leather. The air around it shimmered, as if resisting their presence. Elior approached cautiously. “The First King’s records.” Rael furrowed his brow. “He knew about the chains. Maybe he knew what breaking them would do.”

We showed up unannounced, it is only natural they would be a little wary of us. "He started it," Zinjo pointed at Gael. Tess rolled her eyes, "You boys play nice the adults will be talking from here on out." She gestured to a crate across from the desk, "I am sorry, your majesty. I am not taken seriously enough to have proper furniture." "Have you heard of Lord Bathory?" Aurelia asked with an impish smile. "Isn't he that bibliophile in the Cherish Empire?" Tess poured some wine in a cup, "Care for a drink, your majesty?"

“You’re awake.” I spun. Tiana Miller. Standing there like a devil in glasses. “What are you doing here?” My voice cracked, confused. Why the hell was she smiling like that? Was I being recorded? “Calm down, Nic,” she said, smooth, smug. “Landon and I are distant cousins.” Wait. What? Tiana, one of Chloe's minions, the nasty one with the glasses in the trio. “Your jumpsuit got ruined…laundry. Landon asked me to bring you this.” She handed me a sweater and jeans. “Don’t worry, my size fits you.”

We were prepared for whatever threat just entered. But it wasn't a threat, it was a healer. She ran into the throne room and fell to her knees before the dais, her head hung low. “How dare you barge into the High Lords meeting? Do you have a death wish, woman?” Kalias thundered, smoke emitting from his nose. I threw a side glance at Aidas and he nodded in understanding. The Fireborn High Lord might lose his temper very soon, no one wanted him to burn the throne room down. Again.

The ancient fortress appeared at dawn like something from a forgotten age, carved directly into the living rock of the Thornwall Mountains. Massive gates stood open in welcome, and figures emerged to greet them—Luna families whose bloodlines had remained unbroken through centuries of hiding. "Welcome, daughter of light," said an elderly woman whose silver hair cascaded to her waist. Her eyes held the same otherworldly quality as Aurora's, though tempered by decades of wisdom. "I am Grandmother Isla of the Shadowmere. We have felt your approach for days."

Chapter 10. *********** The throne room was silent, everyone seated held just one thought in mind. The day had started off well, as everyone went about their daily activities until the news stroke them unexpectedly. Everyone made their way into the golden room to meet Lord Xrysos as he paced the floor. Anderios walked towards the King and held the man in his embrace for a while before he too went to join the others. Silent befell them again. Even Linus lost his voice.

As they started walking, the half-elf saw Seelk at the cave entrance, sniffing and looking for something. "Isn't he coming with us?" "Why would he come?" The mage asks as he takes a last sip of water. "Well... Isn't he your... Friend?" "Yes. I still don't get your point." The girl's impatience quickly shows. "If he is your friend and you two travel together, then he should come with us, shouldn't he?" "I never said we traveled together." Lariel doesn't bother trying to argue. She simply ties her hair into a tight bun, washes her face, and takes a few steps in an easterly direction. Eric comes up to her and continues explaining, even though the girl has not pressed the issue:

But she was talking, adding more question marks to the puzzle. "He never brought a girl to the mansions, talk more about his bedroom, I think you'll be here for a long time." She finished with a smile. 'Be here for a long time', my heart skipped at those words. I didn't want to be here for a long time, but subconsciously I knew that even if I eventually had sex with the dark lord he wouldn't let me go. "My name is Maria, I've been working for him since I was a teenager and it's nice seeing another girl here," She finally introduced and I noticed she might be close to my age.

Waiting for my response. "He's —a man that I, my brother, owes money". She let out a short laugh. "Why would a man your brother owes money come after you? That's insane. I mean if he wants his money your brother should pay for it". Lisa, Yu don't understand. "Then make me" she said again searching my face with her large eyes. "I was sold to him". I said with my head bowed "Like a collateral?" "I guess so" I signed. "Look, he can't come all the way here, you are safe”

"Done!" I exclaim into the wall of my room, grinning at my phone while letting my feet dangle in the air as I lie on my stomach. I've just finished the latest book in the Lord series by Shantel Tessier. When I came up to my room, I received a notification about its release and couldn't resist taking a peek, only to end up reading the whole thing. Checking the time on the clock on my nightstand, my eyes widen. I didn't realize so much time had passed while I was engrossed in the story. Hastily, I shoot out of bed, heading to my closet to change. I hope the party isn't already over.
