"Barb & J. C. Hendee - Noble Dead 01 - Dhampir" - читать интересную книгу автора (Hendee JC & Barb)Once more shifting to the far side of the bed, Magiere threw herself to roll across it. The nobleman made another dash to follow her across the room. When he did, she stopped short, crouched upon the bed, and struck out with the falchion so fast he didn’t have time to block. Boots skidding on the floor, he tried to pull back, his torso leaning away from her swing. The blow missed his collarbone but sliced a shallow gash down his chest. “What—” The rest of his words were lost in a gasping inhale. His wide-eyed gaze shifted to Magiere’s sword. As his brow creased in pain, his teeth snapped together hard and clenched. Shock got the better of him, and his grip on his own sword faltered as its point dragged through the debris of the desk. Magiere couldn’t answer him, couldn’t remember how to speak. She didn’t want to cut him with the blade anymore. She wanted to rip his throat out. The front of her jaws began to ache and would not close completely, as if her teeth shifted, or grew— “Dhampiris a fabulous entertainment wrought with mystery, adventure, and sharp-toothed wit. Barb and J. C. Hendee conjure a misty world populated with lively undead villains and an appealing pair of rogues-turned-heroes you’ll find yourself rooting for from page one. Fast-paced action and mounting suspense will keep you turning the pages long after the sun’s gone down. (Just be sure to hang the garlic by the window.)” —Mark Anthony, author ofBeyond the Pale Dhampir Barb & J. C.
