Weekend Writing Warriors: Snippet 107- Kendryk
It’s time for Weekend Writing Warriors! Every Sunday, a bunch of writers post 8-10-sentence snippets from their WIPs on their blogs. There’s a lot of reading, commenting and great writing. Click on the link to see the full list.
From Winter of the Wolf: After leaving Kendryk in the lurch last week, I figured it would be mean to leave you hanging too. So here’s some more of the desperate fight with the soldiers who’ve attacked his camp. And don’t forget to check out the cover below!
Someone pulled on his leg and he slid sideways off his horse. He kept hacking away, and whoever had grabbed him vanished.
A huge fellow appeared before  him, a grin revealing blackened teeth. He stood a head taller than Kendryk, but Kendryk hoped he was faster, and jabbed his sword at the giant, then backed up quickly as the big man swung a huge mace down. Kendryk sprang aside as the mace crashed into the ground next to him.
He wondered where Anton was, but couldn’t look away from his opponent. The mace came down again, and Kendryk jumped away. But then someone grabbed him and pulled him into the dirt. Too late, Kendryk reached for his dagger. His arms were pinned to the ground, and ropes tightened around his legs.
Oops! Left you hanging again, sorry! 🙂 To make up for it, I’ll share my shiny new cover for Winter of the Wolf. I’m not really ready for an official cover reveal, but couldn’t resist showing it off anyway.

Oh no! Not a good position to be in. Nice snippet! And a beautiful cover! 🙂
Leaving us hanging again, Christina. Tsk, tsk. 😉 Love the story, love the cover! Looking forward to more!
Uh oh, he’s in dire straights. I enjoyed this snippet. I find fight scenes challenging to write, so I always like seeing how other authors handle them.
Oh — beautiful cover!
Fight scenes are tough. Great job with lots of action!
History Sleuth’s Mysteries
Love that cover!
Things don’t look good for long-suffering Kendryk. Has he ever lost his faith in the midst of his misery?
I can’t imagine you’re going to pull a George RR with him and kill him off…
Or maybe…
Yikes! He’s in big doo doo right now and needs help big time. Well done, Christina.
Well, that definitely doesn’t look good. Great snippet
Awesome cover, Christina!
Holding my breath… again!
Oh, crap! And I hope the giant with the mace doesn’t take advantage of Kendryk’s incapacity. Where is Anton? Exciting snippet!
Gah! Why did you do this?! *cries* Super excited to see what happens next and the cover is really cool! Can’t wait to see it in detail. 🙂
Oh, man, that’s worse than last time! I hope he doesn’t fall into Theodora’s clutches again. Love the cover. Do you have a release date yet???
Ooh, exciting! What a nail-biting snippet this is, I really want to know how he’s going to get out of this one. Because he is going to get out of it… right?
Not a good moment for Kendryk. But a good tense scene.
Awesome cover.
Tweeted.
As you say, a desperate fight, and well described.
You write very good fight scenes. I would find them difficult. Great writing and love the cover.
Dramatic but believable combat…and now we’re all worried about Kendryk again! Great snippet…
Suspense!
Nice action sequence and I love your cover.
Great action scene. Wonderful imagery. He’s definitely in trouble, isn’t he?
It doesn’t matter how fast you are, if you’re facing enough opponents. He needs a rescue!
Dang, not good! Hope he’s okay.
