Justine Manzano Kristin D. Van Risseghem tagged me to share seven lines from the seventh page of a work in progress. Naturally, I chose The Order of the Key. 🙂
I may have gone a tad over 7 lines, just because I’m a sucker for a decent ending. Also, just so you know – they just fought some creatures. Happy reading!
“Any more?” Kyp’s breath rattled from his lungs.
I really hoped he wasn’t depending on me to give the final all clear. “I think we’re good.”
He groaned and let himself slide to the ground, using the wall for support. “Just a minute. We’ll rest for a minute, then I’ll take you back home before more come.”

He winced. “Pretty sure I broke all of my ribs. Are you okay?”
I looked down at my legs. While they were blood covered, the wounds were mostly healed. “Huh. Must not have been as bad as I thought.”
Kyp shook his head. “Jaina didn’t tell you anything, did she?”
Now I’ll tag 7 other authors to play this game:
