Quest of Fire and Water (Alien Abduction Series Book 8) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

THE QUEST WAS FILLED WITH UNNECESSARY DANGER Why couldn’t everyone else see that? Vradic was sick with worry, over his little love being pressed into taking the Quest of Fire and Water. It was an age old ritual among the Vampiere. The tradition was deeply rooted in superstition, and totally unnecessary in the modern age. Such trials were crafted, for the female promised to a prime, to prove her worth. Jeanne had already done that a thousand times over, since Vradic had known her. It made him furious that his family was guiding her in this direction. How they could expect little Jeanne, to trek up one side of a live volcano and down the other side, was beyond his comprehension. They should have been ecstatic, that he was able to find a beautiful human female, who loved him with all her heart. Females were rare, and precious among the Vampiere. Why risk her safety, when nothing was to be gained but family honor? He was not allowed to accompany her, assist her in any way, or even talk to her until the quest was over. He never felt more useless in his entire life. All he could do was stand helplessly by, why she risked herself for his sake. Suddenly, he realized the Quest was as much a test for him as for her. It was a genuine challenge for a vampire warrior to ease up on his protective urges for the duration of the quest. He muscled down the fury and worry, threatening to swam his soul. If she was intent upon accepting the quest, he could do nothing but step aside. Why that tore at his heart so ruthlessly, was beyond his understanding at the moment.
