Publisher Description

Claire's lover has no tongue. A slave liberated from a heathen temple, Aya cannot tell the story of her stolen voice, or of her and Claire's unfolding love. She cannot speak her pain, her joy, or her sorrow. And if she sees that which eludes the blind goddess of justice, she cannot bear witness. "In the Sight of Akresa" is a tragic fantasy romance from debut author Ray Wood.


At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“Read: https://www.tor.com/2014/08/06/in-the-sight-of-akresa-ray-wood/ . Shall I tell you how you looked to me, that first time? I was expecting a hunched, shrunken creature, grubby head bowed as if in shame at the emptiness behind your mouth, but you stood with your shoulders back. . . Torches burned behind your eyes. My god, this hurt. The author strung words together so effectively it drew out an embarrassing slew of emotions over the course of me reading it, which is no small feat for a story this short. The longing between the two main characters, , had my heart in a chokehold. How it ended was just... wow. I can't. What are words. I need a moment to curl into a ball and ugly-cry it out. https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1653068111ra/32962523.gif”
“Ouch. That hurt. *Sniff*. Okay. This is one of my top five favorite short stories of the year. ❤️”
“okay wtf was that ending fuck off Rep: wlw mc, mute li”
“wow this one was brutal. "Oh, my love. I know so little of you." please don't hate me but claire was kinda annoying and i hated her. she was a spoiled little girl who took interest in anything that's new and shinny, without the consequences. otherwise, the love story is tragic. Aya was doomed and i wished we knew more about her, her backstory, and who she was. read for free on http://www.tor.com/stories/2014/08/in-the-sight-of-akresa-ray-wood”
