Legion Lost (30 page)
Authors: K.C. Finn
“You
two are committed?” he asks.
Apryl
and Delilah nod, and they too march from the scene dutifully. That leaves me
and Malcolm to stare at one another, surrounded by night and mountain air.
“Do
you think Stirling’s one of the survivors?” I ask Malcolm.
“No,”
he says at once. My heart drops into my stomach with a thud. But then, Malcolm
adds: “Though, I hope he is.”
I
nod, and then I rise from my chair with a whole new sensation in my body.
Finally, I feel as though I might be able to sleep, with this strange fragment
of hope brimming at the back of my mind. Malcolm puts one hand on my shoulder
as we walk to the door of the fishbowl together, and he speaks with a measured
gentility that I have never heard him use before.
“Talk
to your family before you commit to this,” he tells me. “You have a lot more to
lose than the rest of us.”
Can’t wait for more adventure and intrigue? Then why not try these other titles from K.C. Finn:
The
Mind’s Eye (Synsk, Book 1)
2nd Place: Best YA Paranormal - RONÉ AWARDS 2015
A
girl with a telepathic gift finds a boy clinging to his last hope during the
war-torn climate of Europe, 1940.
At
fifteen, Kit Cavendish is one of the oldest evacuees to escape London at the
start of the Second World War due to a long term illness that sees her stuck in
a wheelchair most of the time. But Kit has an extraordinary psychic power: she
can put herself into the minds of others, see through their eyes, feel their
emotions, even talk to them - though she dares not speak out for fear of her
secret ability being exposed.
As
Kit settles into her new life in the North Wales village of Bryn Eira Bach,
solitude and curiosity encourage her to gain better control of her gift. Until
one day her search for information on the developing war leads her to the mind
of Henri, a seventeen-year-old Norwegian boy witnessing the German occupation
of his beloved city, Oslo. As Henri discovers more about the English girl
occupying his mind, the psychic and emotional bonds between them strengthen and
Kit guides him through an oppressive and dangerous time.
There
are secrets to be uncovered, both at home and abroad, and it's up to Kit and
Henri to come together and fight their own battles in the depths of the world's
greatest war.

The Book Of Shade (Shadeborn, Book 1)
A
finalist in the Chanticleer Paranormal Awards.
Lily
Coltrane’s to-do list for starting university life is pretty simple:
1.
Make friends
2.
Meet a cute guy
3.
Survive her first year in Modern History
In
the little English town of Piketon this seems more than achievable, so much so
that Lily even joins The Illustrious Minds Literary Society, an
extra-curricular club that promises a truly unique social experience. What Lily
doesn’t bank on are the society’s monthly visits to the mysterious Theatre
Imaginique at the edge of town, a dark venue that houses the most obscure
cavalcade of carnival performers she has ever laid eyes on.
Stranger
still is the emergence of the theatre’s enigmatic proprietor Lemarick Novel, a
stupendous showman with a frosty wit who never seems to smile, and who raises a
plethora of questions in Lily’s fearful mind. How does he levitate with no sign
of wires or mirrors? Why do the lightning bolts that shoot from his hands look
so real? And why, of all the people in the theatre, do his pale eyes keep
locking on hers?
The
answers to this and more lie buried in heritage and blood. The Book of Shade is
opening, and Lily Coltrane will read it, whether she wants to or not.
