Science Fiction Romance.
Stalked across the vast reaches of the universe, Tannis, the last fecund female of the clan Light Bringers, takes refuge on Earth, veiling herself within the dying form of a human female. Her energy forces are flagging and to rejuvenate, she must seek the healing properties of the sun’s rays, but by doing so, she risks discovery by the hunter. Time is short and Kadin—the most feared assassin of all—draws near!
Excerpt:
I
am Tannis! A harbinger of light! Some
say I’m the catalyst to lead my kind back from the brink of annihilation.
With Kadin
in pursuit, such a fanciful hope dissolved into nothingness.
The wind
moaned, whistling through the trees, growing in force as the darkness advanced.
Eerie and unsettling. The temperature
dropped. Frost formed on the strands of grass, transforming the landscape with
glittery gems of ice. He is coming, she thought, shuddering. A tree limb wove
wraithlike in front of her vision, the long silvery leaves snapping in the
strong breeze. Other than the wind, silence stilled the forest. Even the wild
creatures sensed his coming.
She
wondered how the others at Sanctuary had fared. The clan families would have
bonded together to face him, cleaving to each other in a show of strength. I had none to offer that protection! I suspect I’m lucky Shobath took the time to
warn me before he escaped.
She sensed
rather than heard the grinding of metal against solid rock. Pounding agony
emanated from the source, fading as the entity’s essence drifted away. Drawn by
the diminishing energy, curiosity overcame her fear. She floated along the
ground, careful not to disturb her surroundings and draw the seeker’s
attention.
There!
Across the way! A vehicle used for transport was crushed against a rock
wall. Floating above, the occupant’s soul hovered as if undecided whether to
stay or go. She murmured an invocation easing the entity’s confusion. It drifted
for a moment and then disappeared into space. She only had moments before the body
would begin to decompose. Was the vessel
too badly damaged?
Whatever
the consequences, this was the one! She had no other choice. Focusing on the
form, she entered the nervous system, spreading out as she took control. A moment of sorrow for its passing. If
I’d gotten here sooner… Crushing agony overwhelmed her. The form had suffered terrible
damage before its essence departed.
The unbearable pain ripped at her
mind with a thousand shards of pulsating torture. I can’t endure this much longer! But what other choice do I have?
This body
needed medical attention beyond the aid she could provide. But I have to try! Disconnecting the thrumming pain signals, she
centered herself, emitting waves of healing energy, focusing on the worst of
the injuries and attempting to forestall the form’s complete collapse of the major
organs. The kidneys could wait but the liver and pancreas had been pierced in
the accident. Blood clots formed in the venal system, working their way towards
the heart and certain death. She had little time. Molecule by molecule she labored,
repairing as she could, enough to stave off total meltdown while she prayed for
help.
