Fantasy
The Faraman Polity was created by the first Luqs, and has
been ruled for generations by those of the Luqs bloodline.
It is a burgeoning empire maintained by the combined efforts
of the standing military force and the Talents of the Halls
of Law. While the military preserves and protects, it is the
Halls’ Talents—those gifted from birth with magical
abilities—who serve as the agents and judges of the Law. For
no one can successfully lie to a Talent. Not only can they
read people by the briefest of physical contacts, but they
can also read objects, able to find information about anyone
who has ever come into direct contact with that object.
Thanks to the Talents and the career military, the Polity
has long remained a stable and successful society. But all
that is about to change. Seventeen-year-old Kerida Nast has always wanted a career in
the military, just like the rest of her family. So when her
Talent is discovered, and she knows she'll have to spend the
rest of her life as a psychic for the Halls of Law, Ker
isn't happy about it. Anyone entering the Halls must give up
all personal connection with the outside world, losing their
family and friends permanently. Just as Kerida is beginning
to reconcile herself to her new role, the Polity is invaded
by strangers from Halia, who begin a systematic campaign of
destruction against the Halls, killing every last Talent
they can find. Kerida manages to escape, falling in with Tel Cursar, a
young soldier fleeing the battle, which saw the deaths of
the royal family. Having no obvious heir to the throne, no
new ruler to rally behind, the military leaders will be
divided, unable to act quickly enough to save the empire.
And with the Halls being burned to the ground, and the
Talents slaughtered, the Rule of Law will be shattered. To avoid the invaders, Kerida and Tel are forced to enter
old mining tunnels in a desperate attempt to carry word of
the invaders to Halls and military posts that have not yet
been attacked. But the tunnels hide a dangerous secret, a
long-hidden colony of Feelers—paranormal outcasts shut away
from the world for so long they are considered mythical.
These traditional enemies of the Halls of Law welcome
Kerida, believing she fulfills a Prophecy they were given
centuries before by the lost race of griffins. With the help
of these new allies, Kerida and Tel stand a chance of
outdistancing the invaders and reaching their own troops.
However, that is only the start of what will become a
frantic mission to learn whether any heir to the throne
remains, no matter how distant in the bloodline. Should they
discover such a person, they will have to find the heir
before the Halian invaders do. For if the Halians capture
the future Luqs, it will spell the end of the Faraman Polity
and the Rule of Law.
