Wisps of blue heather slowly whirl into sight, creating beauty, creating horror.
Two people.
One child.
One brave man. A slave.
Another…watching the scene.
The child’s eyes beam in wonder…in freight.
The mists glide and reforms into an alluring
diaphanous being.
The Hunger shifts closer to the child, beckoning him. Enticing him to step closer. Bewitching him to his death.
The slaves muscled arm retrains the child.
The Hunger laughs. Fueled by the shadows of the greater Her.
“You cannot restrain me, Slave. I am here to collect your souls.” A laugh like pitted slate grinding against itself echoes through the room.
“No, but I can!” A large figure steps out of the shadows and the ungloved hand of Captain Samuel McCord grips the icy throat of the seductive being. It writhes in pain, fighting to break free.
“What are you?” She gaps.
“Pissed mostly,” McCord says in a raspy tone.
“Kill the monster, Captain Sam,” exclaims little Sammy Clemens.
“Do it. Kill me. End my existence.”
McCord releases his grip just enough to keep hold. “Do you not wish for mercy?”
“Mercy…is ending me.”
The child pleads for the kill, but instead the captain withdraws his hold.
In releasing HER, she is free to kill again…
Who will be her next victim?
Will Captain Sam McCord save the day once more…
diaphanous being.
“Pissed mostly,” McCord says in a raspy tone.

Roland does have an incredible imagination. And I love this cover! Another great intro, Michael.
That was scary. Thank goodness for Captain Sam. Congrats Roland on penning a story frightening enough that the intro freaked me out.
Beautiful intro Michael for Roland's book. Roland does indeed write very well.
Hi Michael .. I really must get to read Roland's books and I will .. Hunger and Death, a soul, a child and Sam McCord .. twisted and revealed together ..

Love it Michael, and with a Sam McCord scene, you can't lose. I have read this book and highly recommend it. I've reviewed it on Amazon and on my blog. I'm hooked on this series, and anyone who loves Egyptian lore will be enticed.

Kind of spooky! Save this one for a bright, sunny day's reading.
You have a way of making me want to read every book you feature here!
Fabulous intro, Michael. Seriously, I don't know how Roland does it. His writing his marvelous, but his imagination is astounding. He always has a new, exciting, and fresh story to tell. When does the boy sleep?

Creepiness abounds in your introduction, Michael! I should have guessed right away it was Roland's. :)
