Excerpt:
The girl put a hand on his shoulder. Her voice was low.
“Whatever happens next. You mustn’t move.”
And then the ground underneath the horse exploded upward and
a pale white form the size of a wagon erupted into the air. The horse let out a
scream that turned into a wet gurgle as white writhing tentacles enveloped the
animal. The copper tang of blood filled the air and Conbert felt his stomach
lurch.
He thought to go for the sword he carried at his side but he
saw the girl’s eyes.
He held himself still as another of the creatures breached
the drowning grass. It was a huge mass of rippling white flesh, except at the
front where the mouth opened like an exposed wound. Massive tearing fangs lined
the pink maw, and white tentacles writhed from the worm's throat, seeking the
remnants of the thrashing horse. The two monsters tore the horse apart in
seconds, powerful tentacles flaying meat from bone with horrific efficiency.
As the rendworms began to slide across the ground in their
direction, Con felt a terror urging him to run. He fought against it, trying to
focus instead on the perfect stillness of the young girl. The huge worms slid
past them.
And then as Con held his breath, the girl moved.
The young cadet was fast and sure as she darted forward. She
struck out with the mace, swinging it with both hands, and smashing it into the
rendworm’s side. There was a loud crack, and Con knew that somewhere inside the
sinuous horror a bone had broken under the blow.
