Lauren H Salisbury was an English teacher for sixteen years with an MA in Education. She is now a writer who dabbles with tutoring and lives with her husband and a room full of books in Yorkshire, England. She likes to spend winters abroad, following the sunshine and becoming the seasonal envy of her friends. When she’s not writing, she can be found spending time with family, reading, walking, crafting, or cooking. The Legacy Chronicles is her debut series.
Excerpt from her newest book, Conviction:
“Why did you have to go out last night?”
Than turned to the table, where Mirami was nibbling on her morning uduin rations and looking at him thoughtfully. “I told you, Kiddo,” he replied with an unconcerned half shrug. “I had to go meet with some friends.”
“Are they in the resistance too?”
At her question, his body stilled and his mind raced. Did she know something, or was she guessing? What had Gilla and Elias told her in the past? It was at times like these that he wished children came with some sort of manual, or that his sister had at least left a set of instructions for him. To give himself time, he pulled the second stool out and joined her, pinching off a piece of uduin and casually popping it into his mouth.
“What makes you ask that?” he asked, after a moment of chewing.
She gave him a look that showed she doubted his intelligence then counted off on her fingers as she answered him. “You hurt your shoulder when the resistance hit the uduin sector, you sometimes sneak out at odd times when you don’t have a shift, and I’ve heard you talking about it with your friends.”
He forced a chuckle and leaned back against the wall. “That’s some idea you have there. I’ve never said anything—”
“I don’t always go to sleep when I’m told to. But it’s all right, I can keep a secret.”
Can two people with opposing principles overcome their differences to be together?
Than has spent his life ostensibly having fun while secretly fighting for his people’s freedom. A member of the underground resistance, he is only ever serious around his comrades and his family. When an injury forces him to step down from active duty and his reluctant nurse sparks his interest, Than finds himself in uncharted territory. The fascinating woman will have nothing to do with him.
Menali’s past has taught her to keep her head down and trust that God has a reason for allowing the human race to suffer on U’du. When Than explodes into her life, he refuses to take no for an answer and challenges all of her preconceptions. He soon has her re-evaluating her priorities and wondering what life with someone like him would be like.
