Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors! Today’s snippet is from Falcon’s Angel, Book 1 of the Cardiff Novel series.
********
Whispering a prayer of thanks when the knob finally turned, she ran forward. The
door swung open with such force, she was knocked backward.
Sprawled on the carpet, caught up in the voluminous folds of her skirts, she watched
a wall of black smoke churn over her into the room. She fought to free her legs from the
tangled silk and instinctively put a hand up to shield her face while she stared through the
open door.
There was nothing but flames on the other side of the door. The fire had consumed
the entire first floor, and rolled over itself through the hallway like a beast unleashed
towards her bedroom door.
In the hall, wood beams fell, disintegrated before her eyes. Through the shifting
inferno, she glimpsed the flight of stone steps leading down into the bowels of hell.
