The Knight's Ill-Thought Bargain Book Two of the Alaina Downs series

By Rebecca Rynecki

 

 

Synopsis: Two years have passed since Alaina and Gabriel left, and forty years have passed in Isleen. The King is dead. The Queen's powers have weakened. And Gabriel faces the consequences of his bargain. Among dragons, evil witches and a sorceress intent on taking over the world, Alaina has to save Isleen...again. *Due to language and sexual situations, this book is meant for ages 17 +*

Book excerpt: Gabriel grabbed his sword, and slipped it in its sheath. "They must be waiting for us."
"For me," Alaina corrected him, her voice wobbling. "They're waiting for me."
He shook his head. "No. For both of us. We're going out there together."
Alaina whimpered as her body quaked. "I want to hide."
Gabriel grabbed her arms, steadying her. "I know. I know how you feel. This is the time when..." He exhaled, and looked around. "It's not a dream. I know that's what you want it to be now. I know you want it to be some horrible dream that you need to wake up from."
She nodded furiously as tears streamed down her face. "Yes," she whispered.
"We're going out there together, yeah? And I will kill Usha. If you can't do this, I will do it for you." He stared into her eyes. "I made this bargain, I-"
"No." Alaina shut her eyes. "No. I said I would do this."
"I suppose in a way...you made a bargain too," Gabriel pointed out.
"Oh."
"This is a big deal," he said softly. "I know you want to. I know you thought you could. I know the fear, baby. I know-"
Alaina shook. "I can do this," she sobbed. "I can do this."
"Okay." He pressed the bow in her hand. "I'm going to put the quiver around your shoulder, yeah?"
"Mmmmhmm." Alaina sniffled, wiping away the tears. She shut her eyes, her fingers tightening around the edge of the bow as she felt the weight of the arrows on her back. "I can do this."
Gabriel gripped her free hand. "I'm here. I'm always here," he gritted.
She nodded, biting her lower lip as she turned to him. "I know."

Cover Reveal Announcement!

WHAT IS UP PEOPLE!!!!

I'm in a good mood because it's Saturday which means that it's time to kick back and seriously freaking relax! Though my R&R time will be like a whole whopping 5 minutes because I have to get back to writing. This week has been swamped with work but this weekend I am ready to get back on track and start writing more of Chosen!

Speaking of Chosen....I'M REVEALING ITS COVER FEBRUARY 8TH!!!! Yep. I felt like shouting that. So go mark your calenders and prepare for such an epic day that day!! Truly, I can't wait to reveal this cover. It's AMAZING!!! :D Only 20 more days!! Woohoo!

Alright, I won't technically start the countdown until we are actually closer to the cover reveal. But fasten your seat belts because February is going to be one busy month for me! I have more than a few tricks up my sleeves.

Kind of on a side note, you know my really awesome, amazing friend Adrienne who designs the covers for the Flightless Bird series? Yeah well, she will be coming to visit everyone on my blog! That's right! You people FINALLY get to meet the genius behind the designs! I know I always talk about her but no one has ever seen her or heard from her so...it's about time she came and hung out with me on my blog don't you think? I'm not sure when she'll stop by exactly but it will be in the near future. Somehow in some crazy way, her schedule is even busier than mine. Yeah, sounds impossible right? But somehow she stays sane through it all...

So, February 8th is the day. FEBRUARY 8TH is the day that Chosen will be unveiled!!! I know I keep saying it but I'm just trying to get the word out that it will be an epic Friday that day so stick around to hear all about it. If you couldn't already tell, I'm just a teeny tiny bit excited!

Now I must be off to listen to some Paramore and write. I also have make more iced tea so I best be getting that done as well.

New Cover! Interview! Giveaway! Oh My!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Woohoo! I hope everyone and whatever you celebrate, got to eat delicious food, spend time with family, and just get some R & R! Looks like we all survived the end of the world. Now we can all tell our grandkids an epic tale of how we fought for our survival until they look it up in a history book and realize that none of it actually happened. Maybe I'll tell my future grandkids that it was like Farienheit 451 (which is one of my favorite books) and that people were burning books but there authors that fought for their beloved stories! But by then I'm sure they'll know I have quite the runaway imagination.

I just wanted to announce that I have a slight new obsession with the TV show The Walking Dead. It's true. That show is freaking awesome and if you haven't started watching it I think you should take it up because it will teach you everything you need to know about surviving a zombie apocalypse. Well, in some sense. But no matter! It's such an action packed, drama filled show that it's hard to stop watching and waiting for season 3 to come back on in February is gruelling.

Zombie brains and guts are everywhere and the suspense! You just never know what is going to happen on this show! My really awesome and crazy funny friend Ashley is addicted too and she came over to visit the other day and noticed the mass amounts of ducks just chilling in the backyard (its right by a lake) and we declared that we had a problem. The backyard was being invaded by The Walking Ducks! We had to escape the house quick if it meant we were to survive. Otherwise the ducks would attack us and eat our flesh!

Yeah, we are a little dramatic. But this is what happens when The Walking Dead doesn't come back on until February. We have to compromise and pretend there are zombie ducks instead of real zombies. *Sigh* This show is straight up awesome and that says a lot coming from me because I don't watch TV a lot. I hardly watch it at all but when The Walking Dead is on, everyone better be quiet because I cannot be interrupted! Just like when I'm writing or reading. The golden rule there is just to not interrupt me...or else.

In honor of not being interrupted, I think this song fits best. It's a fairly accurate description of what happens when someone interrupts my reading/writing time. Or at least my mom says it is. This song cracks me up everytime....hahaha!

Maybe I should spend my blog posts talking about something possibly more productive like...oh I don't know...maybe something like....

FLIGHTLESS BIRD IS GETTING A NEW COVER!!!!

Yes peeps you read that right. Flightless Bird is getting a makeover no thanks to Adrienne the awesome. We have a few ideas fleshed out and now its just a matter of taking the photos because after that Adrienne will do her magical stuff and BAM. We have ourselves a brand new awesome cover. We're also fleshing out ideas for the final Flightless Bird book: Timeless Sky. I will do a big cover reveal for both. I promise!

Also, I have a feeling that the cover for CHOSEN is going to be badass. Why? Because I said so and also I met up with the fabulous Sarah who is a graphic designer at Okay Creations (where the designs are not just okay) and she's hard at work making something completely amazing. I just know it. I will do a big cover reveal for that book too no worries. :-)

In other news, Gregory Mason, that's right THE Gregory Mason stopped by Moonlight Reviews for a mini interview. Naturally if you're a Gregory fan, you should click the link to read the interview so you can get some Gregory charm and wit for your day. I hear Gregory has a crooked smile that makes all the ladies swoon. ;-)
