CLOAK OF WOLVES – a brief excerpt
Editing continues for CLOAK OF WOLVES! Let’s have a short excerpt where Nadia engages in calm negotiations. 🙂

Before he could get to the end of his train of thought, I kept talking.
“Please don’t screw with us,” I said. “I am begging you, from the bottom of my heart, not to screw with us. Because I don’t know how that will end. No, I do know how that will end, but I don’t want that on my conscience. God knows it’s already pretty crowded in there.”
“There are rumors about you, you know,” he said. His voice was calm, but his face was redder than it had been a minute ago. His bodyguards had picked up on it and were drifting closer, hands in their pockets.
“Yeah, I can imagine.”
“That video of you in New York, when you were supposed to have stopped that nuclear bomb,” he said. “I thought it was just propaganda.”
“I was there,” said Russell. “That definitely happened, and that video was just a thirty second clip. A lot of other stuff happened before that, too…”

… Somebody is trying to force Nadia and her brother to do something?
I’m guessing in relation to their new import business. Which means that this guy didn’t think about how they could have gotten exclusive rights to import Kalvarion fruit.
Also, I’m pretty sure this counts as committing suicide.
Unless, well, Morvilind is dead, so perhaps this is Morvilind’s heir or successor? Who is presumably unhappy about Nadia’s role in Morvilind’s death. And probably a grave disappointment to Morvilind.
Nadia can’t blast her way out of every problem, and this is one of them. 🙂
Does this mean we will see the next nadia book soon?
Yes. November, if all goes well.
