Blurb:
Elected as the Songstress, Aria takes her place on the sacred platform to sing before every dawn. As long as she does so, peace and abundant life belong to her people. One morning, amidst a strange wind that brings with it a curse in its eerie howl, Aria loses her ability to make music. But the encroaching death that transpires isn’t her biggest tragedy. It’s that she adores the cause of her blunder, for he’s a magnificent winged creature who’s stolen more than her voice.
Excerpt:
Fog
continued to dance around them covering most of his body, to her dismay. Just
curious, she convinced herself. She closed her eyes and squeezed the bridge of
her nose to concentrate . . . something that seemed hard to do at that moment.
“Feeling
better?” The smooth notes of his words swam through her ears.
“Mmm.”
She nodded. “I guess.”
He
continued to stare.
Aria
cleared her throat. “Um . . . can I ask you a question?”
“You
may ask . . .”
“But
will you answer?”
“That
depends.”
“Oh.
Well. How did you get to be so huge when all the Meleyans are rather small? And
why haven’t I seen you before?”
“That’s
two questions.”
“S-sorry.”
He
exhaled a steady stream of air, adding to the mist, as if deliberating.
Aria
felt the strength of his breath, blowing strands of her hair across her face.
Slow,
yet with precision, he lifted a lock from the curve of her mouth and rubbed the
strands between his fingers. He murmured, “Soft and orange, like the petals of
prairie-tails.” Then he bent and smelled her hair, closing his eyes. “And sweet
like the honey of bees.” Again he held her gaze. The corner of his mouth
twitched upward. “Do you have a sting?”
“I
asked you a question first—”
“Two,”
he corrected. Then he smiled.
