Excerpt;
Prologue
It
had seemed like a great idea eleven years ago, but, now, with Elder
Eden staring him down like he was a disobedient child, Christopher
Sarian feared that maybe it wasn’t as brilliant as he had
originally thought. Her aqua eyes bore into his and he shifted in his
seat, uncomfortable with the situation he had put himself in.
Her voice was silky smooth and strong, even in her old age. It also had a slight hiss to it when she was angered. That hiss seeped through in her words to Christopher. “No one will accept her here; her kind is not welcome by others. You can try to win my approval all you want, but the others will make her miserable. Is that really the best for the child?”
“She will be seventeen, you know.” In comparison to the Elder’s, his voice was small and quiet.
“I do know, Christopher, and I know that her presence would bring unrest to our already shaky colony.” Her wrinkled and dainty hands rested softly on the large oak table that was usually occupied by the Elders of the area. Now it was just her and him and the uneasy air between them.
