Bit of a synonym stretch. ‘Interest’ instead of ‘absorb’.

From ‘Prophet Hearing’.

Today's #WIPSnips from a conversation between Alexander and his tutor, Mr Calver.

Religious swears are considered super vulgar in the period (more than the anatomical, which are our worst). The more idiomatic form is "Why the Devil" but even Alexander's softer form is shocking in some company.

Scruffy pretends to be drunk in order to blend in during a covert meeting. He's faking it quite well, isn't he?

Our Heroine is trying to figure out the polite way to apologize for ruining the Ottrava family's life. And planet.

It's difficult.

Banner for M. Walsh's fantasy novel "The Ghost Princess" with the tagline, "Sometimes... destiny isn't all it's cracked up to be..." Also shows cover blurb: "Graylands is where people go when they don’t want to be found. A neutral, mostly frontier country between two opposing empires, it is a haven for drifters, pilgrims, outlaws, and everything in between hoping to build a new life, find adventure, or just disappear. "Katrina Lamont is one such individual. "Once upon a time, she was the Chosen One—a warrior charged with a great and heroic destiny. But when she finished her journey, there was no happy ending waiting for her. Now she lives as an embittered, alcoholic drifter, haunted by the ghosts of her past. "But when an evil sorcerer, Jacob Daredin, seeks to fulfill an ancient prophecy that may grant him god-like power, Katrina will have to take up the sword once again as she finds herself caught in a race to find the young woman whose sacrifice is the key to Daredin’s mad dream. "Along the way, she will contend with Krutch Leeroy—an infamous outlaw who is not all he seems—and cross paths with Lily Blackthorn—a perky, but mysterious woman with a dark secret of her own. "As Daredin’s forces close in, they will traverse a haunted landscape of pirates, demons, killers, con-men, an immortal juggernaut, and worse in an adventure where the line between destiny and plain bad luck is razor thin." The book cover and background image depicts a black tower on the edge of a cliff by a dark sea and stormy skies with a red horizon. Art by Anthony Jensen

Banner for M. Walsh's fantasy novel "The Jinxed Pirate" with the tagline, "Being dead inside isn't for everyone..." Also shows cover blurb: "Graylands is where people go when they don’t want to be found. "Within this unsettled country of drifters and outlaws is a city where the worst of the worst gather. A place of thieves, brigands, and murderers known as Seba. In Seba, law is an illusion and order is kept through cruelty and bloodshed. "On the run from Sentry Elite and bounty hunters, supposed pirate Krutch Leeroy finds himself in this bloody city where his infamous reputation garners him the attention of Seba’s various feuding powers. Despite his efforts to lay low, Krutch is soon caught in the center of backstabbing schemes and deadly plots. "Meanwhile, after the disaster on the Blind Cliffs, fallen princess Katrina Lamont finds herself nearing rock bottom. Her drinking and temper worse than ever, she sets out on a desperate quest to find what remains of her people. Her journey will also lead her to Seba, where she will tread the line between salvation and damnation. "Amidst this are the Synclaires—a family just moved to Graylands in the hope of a fresh start. However, chance of fate and rash decisions will draw the family into a sinister plot that threatens to bring tragedy and doom to their door. "As Krutch, Katrina, and the Synclaires face threats from all sides, they will each unwittingly find themselves caught in a battle that may destroy the delicate balance keeping Seba from consuming itself in chaos." The book cover and background image depicts a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire. Art by Anthony Jensen
