The Bright Nights Trilogy: Blue Lady (Book 1)
an excerpt

Cries for blood and treasure echo through the night
Now cold stones mark the crypts of our lovers
The warriors died, the healers burned, the Seers lost the Sight
Graves of lost children are scattered with the bones of their mothers
In the wake of the black War, a fire burns high.

Under the sun have the Immortals always lived and died
Till death came with two legs and hands, slaughtering innocence
Only friendship and alliances between us, they lied
Alorah, we united as one and cast out indifference
To end the war, I crack the world, but a reunion comes nigh.

Blue Lady, Red Queen, White Deer stand in the sky, alight
The three who defy death bring hope and our world recovers
Standing together, backs to backs, they are a trio of might
Slipping and falling alone, the world trips and blunders
Down and away from our children, our loved ones, bleeding us dry.

O My People, the sky is singing when the Blue Lady’s wings unfurl
She leads you through powerful Sight and fights with her mind, her claws
Blue Lady, Child of Lunar Eyes, my bones within hers, my girl
Triumphant over struggles with loving Man, the champion of her peoples’ cause
If defiant of Midnight’s glittering knife and honest, pointed lie.

Fury, fangs, and fire know no bounds under the banner of Red
Twilight of Souls, dragon-warrior, lady of clean heart with hands for the Sword
Shadow born, between the lines, come to rule and fight, marked with silver dread
Born Queen and common, two people in one, a golden, pivotal cord
Tying the knot and blurring the lines between bright and night with a sigh.

As the stag flies through the deep forest, so comes the White Deer
Innocent and sweet turned black and bloody through willing love and sacrifice
Always searching, never to speak a lie, savior of those reborn in fear
Analyzing and understanding but tossed by the roll of Fate’s dice
Into the storm, white and beautiful soul flying free at last, goodbye.
