For supernatural detectives Thulu and La Fi, “normal” is a
relative term. La Fi is a medium, Thulu is a finder, and their usual clients
are already dead.
But when their friend Reo is shot, and a group of stranded
angels show up at their house for help to find a missing child, things are
striking too close to home.
And now the portals that let the magical races return to
Earth have started opening on their own.
With trips off-world, a kidnapped psychic and changes to
their own abilities, Thulu and La Fi are hit with a lot more than they usually
handle. Of course, their magical friends are there to help, but even they may
not be enough to save an increasingly unstable Earth.
Portals is the
sequel to Relics and is Book 2 in The Thulukan Chronicles.
Excerpt from Portals
That night Parker had popped in to wake us at two in the
morning to tell us our best friend, Reo, had been shot. The young ghost was
distraught and panicked.
“They're on the back porch! You have to go help.”
“Where is he?” I asked groggily, as I jumped out of bed.
Thulu was instantly awake beside me, although he didn’t seem
any more alert than I did.
“Back porch.” Parker enunciated each word in slight exasperation.
“Go, please!”
Thulu looked at me, and I told him what Parker had said.
Thulu can read lips, but even with a night light the room was too dark.
Thulu threw off the sheet and we both ran from the room. I
was briefly glad we’d been wearing PJs.
Heart pounding, I took a few precious seconds to check on
our three year old son, Carter. His night light showed him blissfully unaware
of anything. Whatever happy dreams he was having made him smile slightly in his
sleep. I sighed in relief that he wasn’t having another of his nightmares.
Downstairs, Thulu had turned on the kitchen and porch
lights. In spite of the panic moments before, none of the three people on the
porch seemed frantic when I joined them.
Thulu looked
relieved, Reo was on the floor, but seemed stoic, and Sloane knelt beside him,
brow furrowed only slightly in concentration as he dealt with the wound.
My heart rate slowed down and my own fear started to slowly
dissipate. My heart gradually dropped from my throat back to its accustomed place
in my chest. Still my hands were shaking, and I felt the slight chill from
outside. The porch was screened in, and the late August day had been hot, but
the night brought a cool breeze that made its way along my arms.
The scent of flowers from the backyard didn’t quite mask the
smell of the blood that pooled on the porch floor around Reo. Sloane, his
partner and an elf, had already removed Reo’s jacket and shirt. A bullet lay on
the floor, and I could see the shoulder wound was already healing and closing
up. In a few moments, only the blood would remain as evidence that he’d been
shot.
Reo's face was white. The strain showed around his brown
eyes and his handsome face had the sheen of sweat on it. His short brown hair that was usually spiked,
lay damp and flat against his head, but he gave me a shaky smile.
“Bastard ruined my favorite jacket.”
Praise for Portals
"Juggling angels, psychics, and a myriad of other magical folk (and their problems), Thulu and La Fi return in Portals to find a kidnapping victim, and maybe just save the universe as a side job. Maer Wilson does a beautiful job of painting their world, weaving a mystery, and sprinkling on a touch of humor in her sophomore fantasy. Such a fun escape!" —LynDee Walker, bestselling author of the Headlines in High Heels Mysteries.
Praise for Relics
"'Relics' is a powerful read which will challenge long-held perceptions of good vs. evil and Light vs. Dark well after the book is finished." Diane M. Haynes, author of Rift Healer, YA finalist in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence.
"In Relics, author Maer Wilson takes everything you think you know about the creatures of the fantasy world and twists it around to create a unique and engaging story." Constance Philips, author of Resurrecting Harry and Fairyproof.
