The Search for Kä (2014)
“I paused at my doorway, then continued on to stop before the tapestry hanging that provided private entry to Tarani’s room. I had my hand up to knock on the flat stone sill when I heard a man’s voice from inside the room. The words were softly spoken and indistinguishable from one another, but I recognized the voice.
I lowered my hand and went back to my room.
I was sitting on the edge of the pallet-lined ledge that served as a bed when Tarani knocked at my door half an hour later.

The knock was so soft that I wasn’t sure I had heard anything until Tarani pushed aside the door hanging and looked into the room.

“Dark?” I echoed, then realized I could hardly see Tarani as she walked across the room. As she passed in front of me, I heard a silky, whispering sound.MoreLess
