Excerpt: Bound Gods book #6: Marud

When you're forced to face just how vicious your anti-hero is.
Unedited excerpt from Marud.

*Azazel said something to the men he was with before coming back on the line. “I have to ask Alton, how well do you know this Marud person?”

“Well enough, why?”

“Because it looks like these people were torn apart.”

They probably were.

“We found three bodies in the stair well, one of the had been skinned. Hern says it had been done while the man was alive.”

“If that’s the worst Marud did, be grateful.”

“Cerberus said something about him being indestructible. Please tell me he was exaggerating.”

Alton walked into his private quarters and gathered the documents he’d taken from the library. “I wish I could.”

“Fuck. Is he even human?”

“He’s a god, so yes.”

“If I hadn’t seen the carnage for myself, I would have never believed there could be anything more brutal than the Chimera.”

Alton nodded even though the man couldn't see him. “Just be glad Marud wasn’t angry when he took out those men.”

COVER REVEAL: Marud: Bound Gods Book 6 by Adrienne Wilder

The next Bound Gods book will be Marud.

Marud is one of the oldest gods who lives for one purpose, protecting Doxies no matter what it takes or who he has to kill. Brutal does not cover this character. Vicious isn't a big enough word. Merciless times ten.

Unedited Teaser from BOUND GODS - Marud

Marud (Bound Gods 6) will be the next book released. Here is a little teaser (unedited).

A small part of Marud had worried the years of abuse might have damaged that part of Jessie. But after this morning Marud knew that was not the case. Jessie was as much of a Doxie as any high-bred boy from Alton's stalls. In some ways, he was more. 

Come for me, Master. 

Yeah, he was so much more. What Doxie could order a god to surrender? What Doxie would? Jessie had only been with Marud days, and already it felt like he'd been at Marud's side for years. Marud might have prepared for the day he would no longer be there for Jessie, but the boy would suffer.And the god was sure, if anything happened to Jessie, he would not be able to live. Not because of the loss of the nectar Jessie made, but because Marud's honor would be broken and the shards would bleed him faster than the knife that once slit his throat. He would keep going though. Only it wouldn't be ambrosia carrying Marud into the future, it would be his rage.
