Blindsighted

Athan Vas-kelen was so sure his dream of a woman of summer meant his destiny lay far from the frozen land where he was born, but after fifteen years on Agoran without a single sign from the gods that he's where he belongs, all he wants is to go back home. Yet, he can't seem to escape. Besides not wanting to simply abandon his sister, an accident severely damages his arm. If he tried to go back to the harsh life in the north, he'd never survive. What good was a hunter with useless hands? Then he meets Shysais 'Summer' Gael, the beautiful new neighbor, and wonders if destiny has finally caught up with him. All of Athan's protective instincts kick in when he's around her, but he soon learns he can't let the tempting woman distract him from his plan to go home. Summer is…troubled. And that's not all that's wrong in the Gael household. As more truths come to light, pushing against his instincts, his desires, and his very identity, Athan just might discover that he was on the right track all along.
