About the Book
Arlyn and the Purloin Bane is a story of treachery and deceit, of power and murder, and of loss and love. Set on an Earth-like world called Tartarus, Arlyn struggles with who and what she is. Her denial runs deep, and her past remains obscured even within her own memories. When Arlyn loses her family and village to the soul-eating creatures in human guise called Skall, she finds herself in Raynor's capable arms. He takes her to Oceanview, and on his crusade for revenge.
Raynor's people, The Endowed, welcome Arlyn and her unique ability to soul-travel. Only Yuma, a Medicine Man, sees Arlyn for who and what she really is, and Arlyn is unsure how Yuma intends to use his knowledge.
Attempting to run from her own kind only brings Arlyn closer to her past, closer to the memories she struggles to forget.
This is Arlyn's journey. It is not a journey Arlyn travels easily or on her own. She discovers love and hatred, fear and deception, and the pain of truth.
