Unhidden: The Gatekeeper Chronicles
Around her neck, she wore an amulet that immediately drew my attention away from her appearance. Hanging from a heavy chain rested a circle of gold. It had nicks and dents around the edges that hinted at significant use across generations. The gold was etched with swirls and shapes that weren’t recognizable to me as anything more than elaborate decoration. They enrobed an aquiline gem, the deep greens and blues of a tropical sea. In its heart, I thought I saw movements as subtle as smoke and shadow. ~ by Dina Given
