Poppy and Rylan, her guard, are out on her usual evening walk. The sun sets and at the first appearance of the moon, hundreds of buds on the vines tremble, then open, revealing petals the shade of a starless midnight. Night blooming roses.
They’re admiring the beauty when suddenly, Poppy sees an arrow protruding out of his chest. A man in a hood appears and cruelly asks her to do as he says or face the consequences. He has no idea she’s trained to defend herself. That element of surprise saves her life.
“I’ll bathe in your blood and feast on your entrails.” The wounded man promises before slipping away.
She’s shaking from shock yet she must quickly hide her weapons, make it appear as if she were lucky. If it’s found out she can fight, her punishment would be severe. Makes no sense but it’s Poppy’s reality.
Who are these people trying to abduct her? And why? They don’t want a ransom that’s for sure or do they? But it can’t be money.
