The talented Ravyn Rayne is visiting us again, this time to discuss the latest in her Gem Apocalypse series "The Amber Voyeur"
The hum of the engine died, and Aria heard the
scream of unfamiliar words in a language she didn't recognize. Shots were fired
in every direction forcing her to duck, throwing herself onto the floor of the
ship.
James lay right beside her, covering Aria with
his body, shielding her from danger. She didn't have the courage to ask what
happened.
The warmth and security Aria felt from James
vanished. A man covered in tattoos, his arms a canvas of ink, grabbed James by
the arm and dragged him across the room. The second man accompanying him lifted
Aria from the floor and escorted her up the stairwell. James walked just a few
feet in front. The man dropped his hold on her as the passageway narrowed. A
gun pressed into her back, a constant reminder of danger. Aria couldn't fight
without risking her life. She hoped these men would steal what goods they came
for and then leave.
Forced outside, the lifeboats were just a few
feet away.
The sun began to set, and the sky twinkled
like a sapphire without a cloud in the heavens.
Even at dusk, beads of sweat trickled against
Aria's forehead. Her black shirt stuck to her back, the cargo pants she wore
were too hot for this climate. She didn't dare ask where they were; she didn't
believe anyone would answer.
They were forced against the wall. Would the
lifeboats even float anymore? The old luxury cruise liner's paint faded from
years of sun exposure. What would it have been like fifty years ago, before the
devastation and destruction that their parents created, taking a luxury cruise?
She would never know. The Gem Apocalypse had resulted in a war with only
survivors, no heroes.
"Move!" the man behind Aria said.
His gun dug further into her back, and she pushed forward on James's heels.
"Down!"
They got down onto the ground with the other
crew and passengers. Six men towered over them with guns. Aria was unfamiliar
with the weapons, as they were larger than the ones the guards carried at the
palace.
"We'll be okay," James said as he
sat beside Aria, reaching for her hand.
Aria wanted to ask him how he could know that
without a doubt. Hope shrank like a beacon of light fading in the distance.
These men were thieves. She could smell the treachery and greed from where she
sat. How did they end up here?
