    About this ebook

    Pevan's desperate plan to rescue her brother from the Separatists has succeeded, but at high cost. Now alienated from both First and Second Realms, the Gifteds' only hope is to free Taslin, held prisoner in the human town of Ilbertin. But Ilbertin has its own Gifted defenders, and if it comes to a fight, Pevan and Rel will be outlawed forever.

    R. J. Davnall

    R. J. Davnall is a brightly-plumed, semi-nocturnal cryptid native to northwestern England. She has been making up stories, including her own, all her life, and thus probably shouldn't be trusted to write her own bio. When disguised as a human, she is a Lecturer in Philosophy and Game Design Studies, and a member of the Olaf Stapledon Centre for Speculative Futures, at the University of Liverpool

      A Light in Her Violet Eyes

      4. Back in the Wild

      Pevan closed her eyes and let Chag kiss her again. His lips were cold, soft and tentative. The tree against which she lay dug bony knuckles into her back, and Chag, lying half on top of her, was no better. Her blouse had hooked on some twig or branch and pulled tight enough to pinch at her shoulder. It was still the best she'd felt in a long time.

      She was surprised at how much she enjoyed Chag's tenderness. Since they'd met a month earlier, she'd felt his hunger for her in his gaze, the way he stood when near her, often in the way he spoke. Now that she'd given herself to him, though, he was hesitant, slow, either incredibly patient or incredibly nervous. He touched her as if she were a snowflake, to melt at the first sign of heat.

      It was too cold a night for that. She put a hand up to stroke his forehead, then ran it around to tangle in his lanky hair. Held him to her when he started to pull away. He tried to mumble something, shifted slightly against her, but didn't resist.

      Eventually, she did let him pull back a little way, holding him close with her other arm tight around his back. There was just enough firelight to reveal the shape of his face, but his dark eyes held no spark. He was barely breathing.

      Why so nervous? She teased, keeping her voice low. Rel and Atla were sleeping off their fatigue on the far side of the fire and waking them would be cruel.

      Does it... I... A shiver ran through him and he tried to pull further away, but she held on. He glanced over his shoulder, then turned back to face her. It's not... bad for you?

      She raised an eyebrow. We might need to work on your technique a bit. You kiss like you've never kissed a girl before.

      I... uh, He went tense. Had she said the wrong thing? It wasn't like he wasn't used to her badgering. From the way his voice sunk even lower, though, she'd touched a nerve. I might... I kinda haven't.

      What? She couldn't help a gasp of laughter. But you're, what, twenty?

      Twenty-one. He mumbled the words so low that the crackle of the fire almost stole them. Twenty-two in a couple of months.

      She put her free hand to his
