Marcus, a walking poison, is Celino’s bodyguard along with Romuld and Ven. Azare.Ĭelino Caravanna, the head of their industry and a financial shark, had been Meli’s betrothed. Aunt Nex, Grandmother, and Meli’s mom all have a certain something. Angel, Meli’s brother, has trained to mimic. Arani Galdes had been its CEO and had been Meli’s cousin. The Galdes family, a small power, lost on Valemia Inc. Meli Asole Grey, Imelda Anara Galdes, is a melder and an assassin who excised herself from her family after her life was ruined twelve years ago. There are two types of enhancements: technological, which don’t breed through, and biological, which do continue through the bloodline. Families noted for their enhancements who realized the need to keep their enhancements exclusive and maintain their power. a city housing twenty-one kinsmen families of note. To use part of her family legacy to make Celino Caravanna regret his past actions. Why isn’t there a penalty for backing out of a contract? I guess I’ll have to read Silver Shark to see if it gets any better. It’s not so much action, but a shallow look at their characters. Sure there’s a bit, but there isn’t the depth of emotion I would have liked to see. And it’s too bad Andrews didn’t milk this for tension.

I will say that Andrews has created a complex world in these few pages, even though the idea of excision also occurs in her Hidden Legacy series.Īndrews uses third person dual protagonist point-of-view from Meli’s and Celino’s perspectives. My TakeĪn extremely short story that appears to incorporate Indian culture and introduce this world Andrews has created. The couple focus is on Meli Galdes and Celino Caravanna.
