The As'mirin #1
Kadj'el
Shona has been given a mission—to get a letter delivered and to steal a ring—and has a good plan to accomplish it. Trouble is, Shona never sticks to plans. She seduces Ekbeth—the wrong man—and, instead of the ring, steals from his safe a very highly prized jewel.
Ekbeth is an As'mir, a descendant of the Elves, and lives between two worlds. He needs to recover the jewel and only has one week in which to do this, because it is needed for the Aras’arisidz, an important festival celebrated by his people every ten years. His life depends on it.
Trying to track down the thief is only the beginning of his problems. Shona turns out to be As'mir as well, an outcast, and she brings havoc to the closed-up As'mir community, forcing them to reconsider their centuries old ways....
Kadj'el centers on Shona's and Ekbeth's relationship and their opposing viewpoints, and is a book about other cultures and traditions, about morals and consequences. It is set in Zurich, London, the As'mir Valley, Bhutan and China.
