Excerpt from one of the books in the
Box Set:
Embracing the Dragon:
The Flames of Kalleen
By: K.L. Bone
Ash fell from the sky, blanketing the charred ground like cascading snow.
Amelia stretched out her fingers, finding the burnt residue cool against her
pale skin, lacking the heat responsible for the land’s horrific transformation.
As she searched the valley for the conflagration’s source, or any living being,
toxic particles coated her lungs with each labored breath.


Normally this lush region would have been filled with the merry songs of
chittering birds, and the scattering rustle of creatures hidden amid the tall
grass. As she walked the field, the only sounds were the crunch of charred
vegetation, and her occasional cough as her chest attempted to expel the
smoke-laden air.


She scanned the horizon, seeking flames. Gloomy air surrounded her, with
smoke so thick she couldn’t even discern the fire’s glow through its
suffocating layers.


Amelia pushed forward, drawing shallow breaths as more particles lined
her throat, turning coughs to occasional gags as she reached what should have
been the forest’s edge. In place of towering trees, she found blackened stumps.
Her heart skipped at the sight, her mind rejecting the ruined vision of the
land she had loved.


“What happened?” she asked the desolate terrain. “What, by the gods, took
place here?”


She had cherished this land with its lush shrubbery, thick enough to hide
even her darkest secrets. A place all were once welcomed to enjoy shaded
comfort, perfumed by the sweet scent of fresh grass and wildflowers. Now, only
cooling embers remained.


When she reached the clearing’s center, a pitiful squeak drew her
attention. She knelt, brushing her hand through ash and soot to find a bird
chirping meekly between desperate gasps. Gently cradling the suffering creature
between her hands, Amelia closed her eyes.


As though anticipating her intentions, the wren remained motionless
against her palms, and its labored breathing eased.


Settling her mind upon the bird, soft-blue light emanated from between
her fingers, bathing the unremarkable brown feathers in cerulean light. As
Amelia’s power drew out the toxins poisoning the delicate creature, it first
flapped its wings, and then flew from Amelia’s hands.


“Fly away,” she urged. “The air remains poisonous.”


The bird chirped in thanks before fluttering away, though Amelia was
uncertain as to the safety of its chosen direction.


She resumed her survey of the ruined forest, helping a struggling
squirrel in the same manner she had the bird. As it scampered away, Amelia
stood and attempted to brush the soot from her hands, but only managed to
smudge the fine black powder.


Without audible warning, orange flames surged toward her, forcing Amelia
to jump to her left, rolling through the fire’s debris, hands and knees
stinging as they encountered hidden rocks.


A roar resounded, shattering the unnatural silence as Amelia glanced
toward the sky to face a looming figure.


Above, darker than the choking smoke, hovered an immense beast, its
wingspan casting a wide shadow over her curled form. The deep purple wings had
a feathered appearance, glowing with what appeared to be golden flames, though
they did not burn. Instead the menacing creature’s wings fanned hotter,
reminding Amelia of a forge fire amplified by a blacksmith’s bellow. From an
ebony body, its back feet were hooved, but its front arms had claws similar to
a bird’s, while larger talons protruded from the outer tips of both wings. A
terrifying creature of utter destruction.


The dragon stared down with glinting silver eyes, glowing nostrils
framing the fire within. With each methodical beat of its wings, Amelia’s
blonde tresses were alternately tugged and blown back in the wash of hot air.


Fear consumed her, stole her breath, and froze every thought. She briefly
considered running, but knew she would never escape the creature’s wrath.


Shakily, Amelia climbed to her feet, her blue eyes wide as she waited for
her inevitable fate. The dragon’s jaws opened, flames spilling to engulf the
girl below before she could even utter a scream.
