    About this ebook

    A talent for knowing what folks were thinking was something Aliiva had come to terms with, but leaving her home and using those skills at the Citadel was not something she was prepared for.

    Learning etiquette, deportment and self defense becomes her focus, but when the combat instructors keep running away, what is she supposed to do?

    Returning from a harsh assignment, Baengar is not very keen to take on a new apprentice, until he sees Aliiva. Making sure that she is prepared to take on whatever comes her way is his primary concern. As they get to know each other, the concern shifts into something much more intense, and when they are sent on a mission together he knows that they have a destiny beyond their duty.

      Tales of the Citadel Book Two

      By

      Viola Grace

      Chapter One

      Aliiva Egrar grinned as she piled up fruit in the market. Her family’s stall was well attended and smiling and chatting at the customers was par for the course.

      Ali, what are you doing with that evening fruit? Her mother’s voice made several of the approaching customers smile.

      I am creating a display, Mama. Aliiva grinned and finished the stack of fruit designed to relax inhibitions.

      Don’t eat any of it.

      Ali blushed as one of the city guards passed by. He inclined his head in greeting and she whirled to confront her mother. Mom, don’t kid around like that. Hervar has been circling the market for the last three fair days. He comes past here often enough that I am starting to think it might not be coincidence.

      Her mother looked over her shoulder and smiled at the shape of the guard on his rounds. He might just be doing his rounds, love. What does your other sense tell you?

      Aliiva paled. I haven’t checked. Give me a moment.

      Walking to a quiet part of the stall, she sat on the stool and ran her hand along her skin. At this time of the day, she hadn’t been exposed to that many folks, so when she passed the spot on her arm where psychic residue remained it was crystal clear. With a clenched fist, she concentrated the residue and identified the thoughts.

      Her stomach flipped when she found the interest in Hervar’s thoughts and she got queasy when the reason for his frequent circuit was revealed. There was a bomber in the Recovan market and the guard was looking for him before he planted a device near the Sector’s summit.

      Well, Ali, what did you find?

      She looked up at her smiling mother and watched the smile die. Nothing good.

      Doing her own rounds of the market place was not unusual for her. Once her family’s stall was set up, she frequently wandered around visiting. To excuse her constant brushing of her arms, she had left her jacket back with her mother. The day was cold enough for her to walk briskly through the gathered shoppers and when she brushed against the dark thoughts that she was looking for, she quickly searched the crowd for a guard.

      Hervar! She ran up to him and smiled.

      Miss Egrar, what are you doing so far from your family?

      She laughed lightly. I believe that you were looking for something this morning when you passed our stall. I think I have found it.

      He looked confused and smiled in an embarrassed manner. I am sure that I don’t know what you are talking about.

      She sighed. This was always the tricky part. She had no idea how to get it across to him that she knew what the bomber looked like and where he was going next.

      There was a gentleman near our stall and I think he had the item that you were searching for. She almost rolled her eyes when he finally seemed to understand what she was speaking about.

      Do you know where it is?

      She nodded. I have to stop by my stall, but it is on the way.

      He made his polite goodbyes to the very buxom lass at the fruit-juice booth and followed her to the garden stall. She jerked her head to her mother and her jacket came flying at her.

      We had to get your jacket?

      She scowled at the man who now seemed far
