About this ebook
Skye, born of two conflicting natures, feels that any magic he may have inherited from his mother is cancelled by the dullness inherited from his father. So he steals a magical pearl from his only friend, a forest sprite. Above all else, Skye wants to return it, but it’s the only thing that protects him from the soul-sipping king he is cursed to entertain. And the king is getting bored.
Elsewhere in the kingdom, Peregrine, face reader of a race driven toward extinction, searches for the last remnant of her kind, which Skye represents. Her companion is a goddess-touched parrot with his own agenda.

When working in biology, I missed art. When working in art, I missed biology. It took a bout of multiple chemical sensitivities to limit me to writing. At last here was a niche in which I felt old-clothes comfortable. At last I could indulge all my interests, from art and science to nature and spirituality, from reality to fantasy. My most recent awards range from honorable mention to editor's choice for my science fiction and fantasy writing. I live in Northern California with my husband of late years who thinks I'm the most beautiful lady he's ever met and tells me a hundred times a day in a hundred ways how much he loves me.
