    About this ebook

    Amarun is a constable in the Dock District of Trade City. In the course of investigating a series of troubling murders, all connected by a small statuette left at the scene of the crime, he makes the unwelcome discovery that the murders were all committed by the same person: Mahir, his former best friend and partner. Torn between the resurgence of old feelings and knowledge of what duty requires of him, what choice will he make?

    Marie Brown

    "Marie Brown has lived in many locations across the United States, but spends most of her time exploring the realms of imagination. Currently located in Colorado, her brief moments of free time are spent in front of her computer, frequently covered in cats."Blah.Yeah, okay, that's all true. But I'm tired of hiding behind a bland, third-person pseudo-bio, utterly lacking in personality.Hi! I'm Marie Brown, and I write a lot. I self-publish through Smashwords and Amazon because I got tired of getting "well-written, but not our thing" rejection letters. Because, you see, most of my fiction tends to include characters that are either bi or just plain homosexual, and despite increasing acceptance of human sexuality and its many variations across the world, heroes and heroines are still supposed to be straight.Well, mine aren't. So if you're brave, and you don't mind that the main character of a story either isn't interested in sex at all, or is quite likely to hop in bed with someone of the same gender, then give my writings a chance. Come explore my fantasy worlds, or my science fiction worlds, or even spend some time with an occasional random love story set on Earth.And by the way, just this once, I wrote this entire blurb without a cat on my keyboard.

      Part 1

      I sit with drawn steel across my lap, wondering why. Do I really think I can stop him? In the end, he will come in here anyway, and I will be helpless before him. My will is weak. It cannot resist the implied danger in his eyes, his moves, his very being. I can do nothing to stop even my foolish desire, how can I expect to stop him?

      The door moves. It cracks open a fraction of an inch, then pauses. Quietly it opens enough to admit a silent shadow.

      I draw a deep breath. I knew he would come. He had to, it was an unavoidable
