Good morning on this very cold Sunday morning.

I hope you are all keeping safe.

I have just set up a pre-order on D2D and would do it on Amazon but do not seem to be able to. The pre-order is for the 30th June 2020 it is a small novelette at 7,500 words long entitled ‘The Hybrid Princess’ it is a story about Victoria and how she met her love Marnac and created the Redemption home. I will be putting up the first two pages as a sample which has not been edited other than through word so it is still very much the raw draft. Like many raw drafts I expect it to be changed during editing.

I have personally set the price for the book at $1 which is about 83p my currency. Any way feel free to read the sample below.

THE HYBRID PRINCESS

The night was still young when a young girl went into labour her husband in the temple of Mithras praying for the safe delivery of their expected baby. His son by his side praying for both their mother and baby sister to be safe from all harm and the darkness of the family curse.

It was traditional for the father and his family to be at the alter to give offerings of food and water of thanks as well a prayer for the coming birth. They stayed knelt their swords in front of them dressed in the finest silk clothing they could expect to wear. From the moment the sun went down to the sun rose they stayed fixed in their positions when a slave ran in and whispered to the king his daughter had been born fit and well. This brought a smile to his face and he jumped up quickly excited
“Praise the gods and goddess boys you have a sister.” He smiled but knew his daughter was not like him or the boys she was part human and had more emotions than a normal Galarian she was a half breed but that didn’t matter to him or his sons as they raced to see the baby.

Once they were in the room with their father the boys walked to the baby, Trave smiled seeing the baby.

“She looks like you Shala, beautiful “Kurri looked to the lady

“Thank you, Kurri, but she has eyes just like you and your father I think.”
Caerul walked forward and picked up the baby kissing her head and then the babies as he walked to the window which over looked the vast green garden for as far as the eye could see the family seat contained vast amounts of land and wood lands.

“Uh oh now we’re in for the lecture.” Jace told his brothers with a chuckle “Welcome to the world sis and your first boring lecture from dad.”

“Shut it Jace, “Caerul told his son and clicked his fingers sealing his sons mouth shut so the kid could not say anything else. As he looked over before returning to the window and everyone who had gathered to see the baby, he took a walk onto the balcony and smiled. As he cleared his throat, he held her up for everyone below to see.

“I name her Rionach Victoriana Gemeti Villin” Caerul announced to the subjects below him and heard them cheer “All of this will be yours one day my beautiful princess.” He told her and meant it he knew she would make a fine leader one day.

Cae took the baby back to his wife and looked over for a minute “you and our princess will be safer on Earth than you are here. When you are ready, I will send you home with the best boys I have, but before you leave, we need to do the union ceremony with young Marnac and his parents.” He told his wife he could see she did not want to leave them but had no choice. He did not like it either, but things were changing and soon it would be hell for everyone who remained with this he walked and left his sons with them to keep guard.

Over time the little girl became known as Victoriana she had become known as Victoriana. Rather than her birth name was a little girl growing up quicker than many her age would do. She walked around the house and looked to her mother pointing to a drink on the side. The year moved quick as Victoria was growing up and being taught about her birth daddy, and that she had to stay out of trouble. Victoria was happy with her mom and new daddy but did not understand why she could not do things like other kids could times. Her favourite place to be was the playground or in the country side where the animals would come closer to her than anyone else especially the deer’s as she walked closer with an apple in her hand and offered it a white hart that stood in front of her the last time they was there.

THANK YOU FOR READING.
