Uniting the Heavens

“You said Syrn is the safest place in all Cordelacht.”
“So I did, and so it is.”
“You’re okay with me being a Priestess?” she asked, turning her violet eyes on him.
He scratched at a healing cut on the back of his hand. “People will give you the respect you deserve,” he said at last. “It’s hard for people like us to make it in this world.” He met her gaze. “It doesn’t matter to me what you are. Just because I don’t get along with Priestesses doesn’t change anything between us. I wouldn’t even care if you were a mage. You and I are the same. Do you understand?”
“I’m going to miss you.”
He laughed, giving her shoulder a squeeze. “Maybe you’ll be so busy in Syrn, you’ll learn to stop worrying.”
The smile on her face didn’t quite reach her eyes. “The goddess said she’d do her best to watch over both of us.”
Aren nodded, then stood up, lifting her off her feet. They looked up at the darkening skies, and he said, “Let’s go realign the stars.”
THANK YOU
First of all, thank you for reading Uniting the Heavens. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
In case you didn't know, indie authors don't have the massive marketing engine that many traditionally published authors have. Here's how you can help me (and other indie authors):
Recommend my book to everyone you know. Aren would love to go viral. (Actually, it would make him extremely uncomfortable to have so much attention, but he's put up with worse.)
Review my book in all the things. Some of those things might include Amazon or Goodreads. You don't even have to write a whole lot. Just hit up those 5 stars and say "Loved it!" (Aren loves stars and would be very grateful.)
Until the next story, thank you!

Emily is heavily influenced by (and obsessed with) anime and the Final Fantasy video game series. She lives with her husband, two daughters, and a high-anxiety dorgi in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
