Burgundy 0.5 – a snippet

I’m dusting off a short story idea for Burgundy in the hopes of having it ready to read by the last Thursday in April aka when I send out my newsletter. No promises – Archivist 2 should be my priority – but I’ll try.

What I adore about tackling a Burgundy POV tale is that she is the ultimate sidekick. A quarter witch who is specializing in healing? What the hell is she doing hanging out with a necromancer and a vampire?

How about a snippet to help celebrate a sunny Friday afternoon?

A newly inked page from my Moments of the Adept Universe notebook

Now here I was, necromancer unaccounted for, and trapped in a sealed circle with a wounded vampire — magic that I was only powerful enough to hold because I’d used a premade spell to trigger it. 

Two things were about to happen.

The ghoul would break through the shoddy circle, killing me to get to the vampire.

Or the vampire would wake, possibly tearing out my throat and slaking his thirst as injured, fledgling vampires were reportedly known to do.

So …

Dilemma.

  1. Aww Burgundy is great! I loved the glimpse we got of her in the Dowser series so having a story about her will be brilliant!

  2. One more post to get my juices salivating! Thank you MCD for always stepping up and sharing your creativity! I am never disappointed!

  3. I think I remember a scene like this from one of the Jade books? Burgundy helped when Pearl was protecting the City? She is an interesting character!
