The remains of Shiro and Yumei’s late dinner had been cleared from the table, and the unlit brazier was devoid of light or warmth. Wrapping an arm around herself for warmth, she slid a panel open and peeked into the main room.
A short, fumbling search uncovered no extra blankets in the closet within her small alcove. Cold hit her like a splash of frigid water but even that wasn’t enough to dispel her drowsy daze. Yawning, she forced her tired body off the futon. A winter storm? A feverish ache throbbed in her muscles, though she didn’t think she had slept for more than a few hours. Curled in a tight ball beneath her blankets, she exhaled harshly, half expecting her breath to fog the air.īeyond the thin partition that separated her sleeping quarters from the rest of the room, the windows rattled in a fierce wind.
The chill in the room cut right through the layers of blanket and kimono, and her toes ached from the cold. Violent shivers pulled Emi from the depths of sleep. ARCs are going out today as well (watch your inbox, ARC readers!) and in the meantime, here’s an excerpt from Immortal Fire! Only two weeks until the final installment in the Red Winter Trilogy releases! I’m so excited to share the conclusion of Emi and Shiro’s journey.
