    About this ebook

    Illuma was born of two different species and it created a rift between her parents. Growing up as an elegant young woman crossed with a being of mist made knowing what she was supposed to look like difficult.

    Recruited as a young adult, she joined the Citadel and pursued xenobiology. Her fascination with alien appearances extended into work with espionage and species assessment. She could make any member of a species look like any other species or race that she wanted.

    Olwick had served his time in the Citadel, but when Illuma came to his sister’s rescue, he felt a connection to her, and he certainly owed her. Seeking out the Breethin-Nishan cross in the Citadel was difficult but making a connection beyond a shared origin would tax his skills and her patience.

      Blue and Alluring - Viola Grace

      With a firm grasp on shifting her shape, she meets a man who can always see through her, and she doesn’t mind.

      Illuma was born of two different species and it created a rift between her parents. Growing up as an elegant young woman crossed with a being of mist made knowing what she was supposed to look like difficult.

      Recruited as a young adult, she joined the Citadel and pursued xenobiology. Her fascination with alien appearances extended into work with espionage and species assessment. She could make any member of a species look like any other species or race that she wanted.

      Tales of the Citadel 49

      By

      Viola Grace

      Chapter One

      Illuma kicked her feet and worked on her homework. Her tutor suddenly shot to his feet when her father walked in. He looked as he always did. Handsome and scary.

      Lord Ambrehar, we were not expecting you. The tutor scrambled to take stock of what his charge was doing.

      I am aware of that. Illuma, close your books and come with me.

      Illuma nodded and hopped down to the floor. Her father took her hand, and they walked through the halls of the manor house that served as his base of operations when he was on Breethin.

      Illuma, you are nearly twenty years old. It is time for you to grow up. He sighed and squeezed her hand.

      I don’t know how.

      I know. I am taking you to see your mother. She will tell you what I don’t know.

      Their driver was waiting, and Lord Ambrehar lifted her, settling her into her seat and making sure she fastened in before he took his own spot. The hollows, please.

      Her father kept her hand as they travelled. She didn’t ask questions. She didn’t have to. If he wanted her to look her age in the physical sense, only another Nishan could show her. Her mother had lost the ability to keep a physical form when Illuma was born, but she could still help out with instructions.

      When they had reached the hollows, their vehicle stopped, and her father helped her unbuckle and get out.

      The valley filled with mist was her favourite place to visit. She tried to do it at least once a month, but it was hard to convince her tutor and her legs
