Protector
by Vivian Lane
GENRE: Urban Fantasy
BLURB:
Carys Taylor has her
life perfectly under control. Equipped with a nice inheritance, she goes where
she wants, when she wants, pursuing anything that interests her. So when her
old professor asks her to come on a research trip for his thesis, she's eager
to tag along.
Until that ill-fated
trip to the South American jungle changes her into a supernatural being. Now
she's sprouting claws and stronger and faster than any human being in
existence. The reclusive tribe calls her their Protector - but from what? And
why now? Why her?
Carys is pulled into
a world she never knew existed. Is she up to the task?
EXCERPT:
Carys, next time someone asks you to go with them to the
middle of nowhere, say no.
My old professor asked me to come
along on a trip to study native music.
He was cataloging the songs of an obscure tribe. I had nothing more important to do, so I said
sure. Got all the necessary shots and
documents, and we made the long journey down.
Little did I know, it would be a
life changing experience.
Our destination was a small village
in the heart of the South American jungle.
How he ever heard of them, I didn’t know. Took us three days by boat to get there. Our team consisted of the professor, our
guide/interpreter, the professor’s assistant who was using this trip as info
for his thesis, and me. As a music
therapist, I used music to heal people’s souls, so I would be lending my
expertise in the emotional resonance of the songs.
Approximately fifty people lived in
the village, some of the nicest people I’d ever met, instantly welcoming and
glad to share their musical history. My
job was recording the performances with the handheld camera. They kept staring at me when they thought I
wasn’t looking. At first, I attributed
it to them never seeing a fair-skinned woman before, but the stares continued
through the week.
That should have been my first clue.
