Product Description

A fiery shuttle accident leaves Preeah Neyshal so disfigured returning to her life as an assassin, and to her lover, Tara, is impossible. She soon finds herself with little money and no prospects. Even her telepathic abilities can’t help her.

Quinley Lear, a man with a past eerily similar to hers, offers her a future beyond stealing from others to support her drug addiction. What he expects in return, however, is more than she can accept.

Preeah tries to run away, but her past catches up to her. Now lives other than her own are at risk. She must choose between the two people she loves the most – a choice that will result in death either way.

This review is from: A Reason To Hope (Paperback)

This novella packs a fascinating story within a few (78) pages. An assassin, horribly burned during an escape attempt, must become a common thief to support her newly-formed drug habit. Preeah, despite her horrific appearance and loss of an arm, has one useful talent: a telephathic ability that allows her to choose appropriate victims and erase memories.

But then another telepath stalks HER to bring her to a new home of misfits and telepaths where she can shake her addiction. Quinley, she learns, has a similar story to hers, and he offers her HOPE.

Tantalizing references to fascinating backstories in this world and the characters lead one to hope that Marquardt will continue this series soon.
