Teasers:

Teaser 1
A cool breeze whistled through the grove, causing the tall grass to sway in time with the rustling leaves.  In the middle of the grove was a young woman with long, black hair.  A white silk dress wrapped tightly about her slender frame.  The woman moved gracefully back and forth to an unheard rhythm.  The ancient form had no room for error as she moved through the complex motions.  At first glance it appeared that a light mist had risen up and swirled about her.  However, at a closer look, distinctive shapes could be seen; human forms of those long since dead joining the woman in her dance.
Zandreena had performed this dance countless times, but until now she had always performed it alone.  A rush of power and enlightenment went through her as the ancient spirits bestowed upon her their power and wisdom.  Completing the form, the spirits faded from mortal view.  She bowed deeply in respect as they departed.

Teaser 2
The horror returned stronger than before.  She was to be cooked and eaten alive!  “Who is your master?” again taking on a demanding tone
“Master is Master.”  Is all he said, turning back to his work.
Zandreena tore helplessly at the chain around her ankle.  This could not be happening, after surviving the test of the Grand Magi and surviving an attack by a Tarillion assassin, she was to die by a scrawny creature with delusions of grandeur.  “Gurrugant!” she yelled.  “Do you think I will just hang there and let you roast me over your fire?  As soon I am out of this cage I will tear this place a part.  I will bring such destruction upon you and your kind it will be remembered for centuries!”
The kobold seemed unimpressed by her threats and spoke without turning.  “You no scare, you sleep.  You no wake, magic be all mine.”
