It is Wednesday once more and time for a WIPpet. Join us if you dare.
Today is the 8th and the excerpt is from the 8th chapter. A lot is revealed in this chapter which affects and alters the rest of the book so the excerpt I have provided is very edited. I don’t want to give anything away. All I will tell you in the way of context is that Kara has found a victim of a planned attack, not quite dead but dying. When she and her guards arrive at the scene, she sends them after the fleeing attackers while she tends to the victim.
‘Did you catch them?’ she demanded of the returned guards.
‘No, my lady,’ Finnix replied, ‘But we did find this.’ He handed her a dirty, torn scrap of cloth.
In the corner was a T, painstakingly embroidered in red silk. It had taken Kara hours to sew. Shivers raced down her spine. Surely there was some mistake? Some innocent explanation?

Ooh, nice excerpt! I take it Kara is in for some revelations she might rather not know about?
They say ignorance is bliss…
I hope there is a good explanation, but one that will be hard to find… Or something else? Nice WIPpet and well chosen!
Haha, thank you. But I doubt I will reveal the explanation here. 🙂
an innocent explinatio does not sound likely!! 🙂
There is rarely an innocent explanation in such a situation 😀
Another intriguing slice of your WIP. I’ll be interested to know what the presumably not-so-innocent explanation is.
Rock in the pit of the stomach feeling at recognizing the embroidery. Nicely done.
yay! I’m glad it actually had that affect 🙂
The way you described the hours of sewing and Kara’s reaction… It’s not going to be a happy meeting when it happens.
Dun dun dun! This doesn’t sound like it’s going to end well. Great job building the suspense.
🙂 Thanks.
Having that T be one she embroidered herself is a nice touch. It adds an extra layer of sinister depth.
By the way, do you have a Twitter I haven’t found? I go about tweeting the WIppets on Wediesdays or Thursdays (or Fridays if you’re over the date line).
