Gentle Chains (The Eleyi Saga Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The wingless Eleyi sees too much and after two weeks of caring for her, it is very easy to forget myself with her, to forget it is not only my secrets I keep. -I’m tired,- I say, brushing aside her words. She shifts, looking at me, intently. -There is talk of you among the sick. Whispers about you taking pain and easing the way into death.- She doesn’t say more, doesn’t push for an explanation that I cannot give. I look down at my hands, and my gaze snags on the stumps that used to be her wings. Inanely, I wonder if she is still Fendra’de. What would a wingless Eleyi be called? We’ve never had one, never needed to name them. -I didn’t mean it,- I whisper. -They were hurting, and I could help. It wasn’t supposed to be noticed.- She inhales sharply, and I feel the sudden presence of Eleyi minds, listening and attentive. -Juhan, does she know? Does Renult know what we can do?- I’m shaking my head. -Of course not. I’d never betray Eleyiar that way.- She doesn’t say that I already have.
