SOUL OF SKULLS – excerpt #2

A second excerpt from SOUL OF SKULLS:

“Why are you still here?” said Lucan.

Malaric glanced up from a shelf. “I told you, my lord Lucan. You leave power in your wake.” He grinned. “And I rather like power, you know.”

“You have power,” said Lucan. “Your own magic. The spells I taught you. And the skull you took from Arylkrad. With that, you are a match for any mortal man…ah.”

“Oh?” said Malaric.

“You’re afraid,” said Lucan, “that Molly Cravenlock is going to hunt you down.”

“I could have taken the girl,” said Malaric.

“And yet,” said Lucan, “she is still alive.”
