Shadow Weaver (Back on Wattpad 2020!)
In the desolate, snow-swept lands, Mirra, a young Uru Ana with 'glitter-eyes' and the gift of sight, lives a precarious existence with her family, constantly on the run from bounty hunters. When her younger brother, Kel, also possessing the dangerous gift, is snatched, Mirra must embark on a desperate journey through a treacherous world to save him. Can she confront the hidden truths of her past and the formidable forces hunting her kind, or will the shadows consume them all?

I splay across a rock, semi-frozen. The finger-deep layer of snow against my back softens the lumpy stone. My eyelids soak up the sun's amber rays. After three months of winter's endless darkness, I am making the most of this serene breath of sunlight.

'Mirra, get down here!' my younger brother Kel shouts. He'll be six during the third moon, only a few weeks from now.

'I'm coming,' I say. But I don't move. Steal a few more seconds, longing for the all-night sun when it will be warm enough to lose our heavy parkas and furs and jump in the cool flowing river.

A thin layer of ice cracks as my brother leaps to my side of the stream. His boots crunch and scrape against the snow. I smile at his impatience, haul to my feet and slide down the rock, tiny white avalanches falling with me.
