In this snippet, Jonathan’s been picked up by security. He’s being questioned because he was the last person to visit, Matt Bento, a prominent business man and former friend of Jon’s father. Matt is presumed dead after an explosion destroyed his apartment in one of the luxury apartment towers. Unfortunately, one of the Guardians is questioning Jon, and he doesn’t realize that he’s about to be set up because the Guardians want to separate him from Nadira.
“Why are you so agitated, Mr. Keel?” Talia clasped her hands in front of her. “I only asked a simple question.”
Gritting his teeth, he swallowed before he answered. “Matt asked me to meet him. He had to talk to me about business.”
“What business?”
“He gave me advice.” He wasn’t going to say too much about Ron and the trafficking. The way things were going, they’d accuse him of being part of it.
“Mr. Keel, you’re still resisting me, aren’t you?” She took another step closer. “Or maybe you did take a detonation device to the Diamond Star. You took it into Matt Bento’s apartment and planted it because you wanted revenge.”
“You’re not going to force me to say that.”
She came close enough to place her small hands on his shoulders. Leaning down, she whispered in his ear. “You’re a disgusting Fragile and the Elder will not allow you to have Nadira.”
“No! You bitch!” Jon jumped out of the chair. He’d reacted without thinking. And as soon as he did, he realized he’d done the wrong thing.
Before he could take a step, a sharp pain cut into his chest like a mining pick.
Hathor Legacy book one, “Hathor Legacy: Outcast” and book two, Hathor Legacy: Burn are available on Amazon.com.
About the book…
Book Two of the Hathor Legacy Series
On the planet, Hathor, an old threat re-emerges that may destroy the fragile alliance between the Guardians and Novacorp. When Nadira is called to investigate a rash of fires throughout the city, she discovers the Deshtu, another group with PSI powers who have been purposely kept in the shadows.
Working to uncover the source of the fires, Nadira learns the brutal truth about the origin of the Guardians. The Guardian Elders have plans to make Nadira more powerful, and she may be forced to sever her psychic connection to Jonathan Keel.
When an unexpected ally gives Jonathan information about the Deshtu that connects them to the fires, he becomes a convenient scapegoat for the opposing factions. Nadira puts her life on the line to solve the crime, while the Elders make their move to remove Jonathan from her life forever.
As time runs out, the Guardians prepare for a clash with Novacorp that could plunge the planet into chaos, and a final betrayal forces Nadira to risk everything to save herself and Hathor.
