A blind girl with the ability to draw is abnormal, even on the magical island of Edaion. As an immigrant, Leocardo is uninhibited by the accepted wisdom and is convinced his sister is having premonitions. Aniela knows better. As a princess, she has access to information Leocardo does not and is convinced his sister is a medium channeling voiceless spirits.

Who is right? Whose eyes will you read through? This is Aniela’s volume of book 1 in the Blind Sight series. To read even further, preview on Amazon.

Chapter 1: Searing Regret

The years of playing dress-up had long faded into memory. At seventeen, Aniela was a pretty girl, although lacking the sophisticated beauty of her mother and sister. Her long blonde locks cascaded in a style reminiscent of her childhood, but her blue eyes had lost some of their innocence. Her playful demeanor, although now tempered by responsibility, had never left entirely.

Blind Sight tells the story of Odette Reyes, a blind girl who develops the ability to draw. In one volume, the story is told through the eyes of her brother Leocardo who thinks she’s having premonitions. The other volume tells the same story through the eyes of her best friend Aniela who thinks she’s a medium channeling voiceless spirits. Who is right? Whose eyes will you read through?

This is the prologue to Aniela’s volume. Come back next week to read chapter one or preview on Amazon to read through part of chapter 2.

Prologue

A bundle of joy wrapped in a white feather boa streaked down the hall. Her long blonde hair flowed out behind her. Dressed in a vintage dress several sizes too large, Edaion’s youngest princess had just come out from playing dress up in her mother’s closet. Aniela wore oversized tortoise-shell aviator sunglasses and a necklace of pearls that dragged on the floor, threatening to trip her as she ran barefoot toward her sister’s room. The energetic four-year-old girl pushed open the bedroom door without knocking, still learning appropriate boundaries.

Seven-year-old Tatiana sat on her bed, her dark hair and dark eyes a stark contrast to Aniela’s baby blues. One of their mother’s favorite lamps levitated up and down; it moved slowly through the air. Tatiana never let it exceed six inches from the ground while she practiced her magic. All three of the Dawson children had inherited telekinesis from their mother. Tatiana specialized in large, heavy objects. Her twin, Theodore, who sat at Tatiana’s desk playing solitaire in the air, specialized in multiple small objects. Aniela had yet to develop a specialty.

Apart from the obvious desire to begin writing on this wonderful blog I really felt like voicing my thoughts on the beginnings of Ermilia, Ermisenda and Eliabeth.
