Varan may have broken free from the violence and cruelty of his captors but he’s been left scarred by the atrocities he has seen; his own family falling victim to the slavers. Now, alone on a strange, dangerous planet, the searing heat and lack of food and water threatening to be the end of him, all Varan can do is try to survive each day as it comes. All hope seemed lost until his path took him to an exotic creature lying injured in the barren desert. Varan never realized how alone he felt until he had someone to care for once again and slowly, he and his new companion learn to work together, each of them finding the will to live and love again.
Flight is the story of love being found when least expected, in a setting full of vivid and fantastical imagery. Varan’s loneliness and heartache is subtle, his strength of character to survive admirable. When he meets his future companion, Varan’s relief and surprise at his own emotions were captivating, the chemistry and deepening relationship between them a joy to read. The style of writing allowed me to immerse myself in a story so well written that I didn’t even notice that for a majority of the story there were only two characters involved. The blossoming romance between the pair alone was enough to keep me reading but add to that, an interesting plot of alien races, foreign technology and the threat of an ominously absent villain and the result was a wonderful experience of escapism.
