...Nefertiri moves across the room with liquid ease; her bare feet, barely touching the tiled floor, make no sound. Her clothes, perfectly white, cling against her flawlessly sculpted body. The gold armbands on her wrists reflect the flickering candlelight, and the serpent coiled around her arm draws attention to her toned muscles. Head held high, she steps with regal air across the threshold, the gold tips of her red braids clinking together softly, making an almost music sound as she moves, a grin pulling at her lips as the door closes behind her... Nefertiri is the main character in my novel, Children of the Storm. She is an ancient Egyptian Queen, a High Priestess of Set, and a vampire. www.cos.shrub.com
