Return of the Nine #4
Guiding
Taking care of folks in the wild is her hobby, but when two of the Shadow Folk need her help getting everyone out alive, her skills as a guide will be tested.
Teyha enjoys being a historian and educating the next generation of Gaia on how they arrived. Her weekends and time off is spent exploring the new home for humanity, bringing back information and tales of the abandoned cities of the previous civilizations.
Two Shadow Folk come to ask for her help as a guide, and with a little convincing, she agrees to head to the ancient city that their people had once thrived in.
On the way to the city, she finds that she is not taking two men on a pilgrimage, she is leading a rescue party. With one shadow keeping secrets and the other too close for comfort, she does what she was asked to do. She guides them in, and she gets them all out.

I like the Shadow Folk and hope we learn more about them in future books in the series. The heroine is practical and capable. The side drama of this short story is compelling and the world building very good. I just didn't get enough romance for my full pleasure but I enjoyed it overall.

An enjoyable short sci-fi romance.
This romance was fun. The world building of the ancient Shadow city was fascinating, and there was plenty of excitement in the plot. I enjoyed the political machinations. The heroine was strong and sympathetic, and the hero was deliciously alpha. I am off to read the next book in this series.
