Closer Than Kin

By Melody Hewson

(better cover coming eventually)
The tarous tend to be a peaceful race, preferring to fight only when absolutely necessary. But when a young tarin comes across an injured sparrow, she immediately decides to protect the tiny bird no matter what the cost.
Even against a Kin, the most dangerous predator known in Eidra. But as unlikely opponents clash, things may not be what they seem on the surface, and profitable lies lead to the birth of a legacy.

Melody Hewson

I am an author, a teller of stories both long and short, real & imagined. So for the sake of my own amusement, here’s a bit of information about me, written in the form of a short story. Whatever information you can gleam from these words is what you are worthy of knowing about it's creator.Hazel eyes stared up at a cloudless sky before falling to take in the house below it. To some, it would be judged by its flaws ; it's fading paint and scuffed floors. But to her it was perfect. It was hers. And it was home. To one side, a wild forest whispered sweet nothings in the breeze, which was answered by some distant bird's call. "Life is good." She said softly to no one. "And today is a good day."The sudden squawking of wild fowl pulled her attention to the shaggy black and white dog that rarely strayed far from her side."God damn it, Jackalope! Quit chasing those turkeys!""I looked heavenward for angels, while beautiful demons showed me the way." - Shannon Nacyl
