Excerpt From My Latest Release, SAKE.

Today, I decided to share with you all an excerpt from my newest work: Book 4 of the Core Series. I’m getting really excited because there’s only one more book to come in the Core Series and I can feel the end forming in my mind. Today, please enjoy a glimpse into the world of Ima, Judge of Pain, as she becomes one of the most heartbreaking villains you’ve ever met.

“It’s tradition, hon. You can’t see him. Why don’t you come on out?"

"If I don’t see Cale in thirty seconds, I’m coming out naked. It’ll be a new tradition."

Silence. Then finally, a voice she knew, with a tint of amusement to it. "Ava? Are you threatening nudity on these people?”
― Teshelle Combs, Core
