  Excerpt

Metal clashed as she took her stance. Still his eyes seemed to look inside of her.
"Who are you, warrior woman? You have much strength and skill."

"You should know. You trained me in the art of the sword."

Slowly, he lowered his weapon. Out of respect, she did as well. His eyes looked behind her, and he narrowed his gaze.

"If your guard dog values his life, he will not take one step closer."

"Ike, please. For once just trust me and don't move. Make sure Carter is not hurt."

"The mind bender is well." Blayde returned his eyes to hers. "There will be a battle, and we will meet on that field. Why the thought of your death pains me, I can not say."

"I am your sister, Brillasse. Do you not remember me?" His eyes narrowed, and she took a slow step forward. "Roveena and I thought you long dead."

His eyes widened slightly at the mention of their sister. Then a cloud covered his dark eyes, and Brillasse knew this had to be Hades doing.

"I died a long time ago."

A movement to his right drew his attention, and Brillasse was not quick enough to stop Trina from walking right into the middle of the situation.

"Where did everyone go? Did you show up and declare it a holiday?" She laughed, and stood in front of Brillasse. "If this is about the drunk, I am sorry but he had it coming."

As if she just noticed the look in Brillasse's eyes, Trina slowly turned, and met the dark eyes of the shifter.

"Oh my, but you're a big one." Her head craned back to see his face.

Trina licked her lips as she sized up the leather clad hunk before her. He was at least six foot four and muscles that would make any man envious. His hair was so black, resting across his face and shoulders, that it carried a blue streak. It was his eyes that held her captive. Black as sin and she licked her lips again. Wishing she could commit all kinds of sin with this one. Then her attention was drawn to the sword in his hand, and something inside told her she had really screwed up.

Slowly, she turned back to face Brillasse, her eyes wide and not missing the play of emotions on the other woman's face.

"Someone please tell me this is a new act for the casino, and I just walked in and screwed up the show." Her tone and expression hopeful.

She gasped and lost her breath when she was suddenly gripped from behind and hauled up against a chest that may as well have been bricks. She struggled and the arm tightened, cutting off her air.

"Let me go or I swear you will regret it."

"Cease your struggles, it will do you no good," his voice whispered across her ear, and his hair caressed her face. The fight left her and she went limp against him. "I can read your thoughts, little warrior, and it will do you no good."

Her body stiffened again, and she glared up into his face.

"Do not fight him Trina," Brillasse said, watching her brothers face. "I don't think he will hurt you."

"You don't think? Well hell, that sure takes a load off my mind!" she snapped. "Could someone please tell me just what is going on? And could you please ease up on your grip, maybe set my feet on the floor? It's not like I can go very far."

Though he never took his eyes off Brillasse, his grip did lighten. The raven nuzzled her hair and she shrieked.

"Get that flea ridden creature off of me."

His eyes narrowed and he spoke a soft word to his bird. It began to sing, and the portal began to open.

"Blayde, release her. You can't take her into the underworld."

"I can if I so choose." He stepped back until he was engulfed in the light. "She is coming with me, as I know you will follow her. We will meet again on the fields of Hellishiam. Then we will know who is the true warrior."

Trina's cry of outrage was silenced as the portal closed, and all was quiet. Brillasse fell to her knees, the pain in her chest lightened, though her heart ached at the knowledge that she would have to battle her brother.

"Baby, are you all right?" Ike knelt beside her. "What is happening?"

"Damn Hades. He will stop at nothing. Give me demons any day of the week. But not this. Oh, please not this."

"Brillasse, talk to me."

"He is my brother, Ike. My brother."
