Hereditary (Beatrice Harrow 1.) 1 csillagozás

Jane Washington: Hereditary

Beatrice Harrow has the blood of a Tainted Creature running through her veins. It makes her more powerful, more beautiful and more despised than any other being in the human kingdom. So she is naturally suspicious when the ever-smiling Cale and his comparatively tacit counterpart, Prince Hazen, befriend her.
Armed with an ability that is becoming more threatening to her own health by the day and a repertoire of surprising friends that may or may not have her best interests at heart, she quickly finds herself struggling against forces much bigger than any of them. How long until her tenuous connection to each kingdom is severed, and she is forced to chose between humanity and the Tainted Creatures?

Jane Washington: Hereditary

Bea egy tizenhét éves félig ember, félig synfee (földi szirén). Eddig kívülállóként élte az életét az apjával, aki a munkájának köszönhetően nem volt sokat mellette, így tanítók sokasága járt hozzá, hogy az örökölt képességeit elsajátíthassa, megtanulja uralni őket, de mind elbukott ezen a téren, s így került az Akadémiára. Ott végre barátokra lelt, s útközben egy igen hasznos szövetségesre is, akivel igen közel kerültek egymáshoz, tekintve, hogy Bea félig synfee és a tápláléka az életben maradáshoz nem éppen szokványos. Egyik bajból a másikba esik, de sokan a segítségére sietnek, miután jobban megismerik őt és nem félik a voltát.
A vége függővég, de nem érzek rá akkora nagy késztetést, hogy folytassam az olvasást azon mód, de azért közel tartom a második részt, mindenre készen.

– It was unfair of me to let you both finish the experiment without offering my own little piece as well. I am connected to everything around me, and it’s not what you think. I. Don’t. Hurt. Things. – I moved back to Hazen, punctuating each word with a step, until we were standing toe-to-toe, and then I let go of my barrier.
[…]
I didn’t often open the connection when the sun was setting, but it had always been my favourite change. To see the sunset in those same, intensely clear colours, it was almost magical.
– I don’t hurt, – I whispered, drawing their eyes back to me, – I help.
Hazen blinked, – Your darkness is gone.
– The connection helps me, too.

– I guess people go through things, and it can change them. They behave differently, care less, maybe even stop caring at all, and we all remain the same, clinging onto what memories we have, hoping that they will come back to us. Maybe they do, and maybe they don’t. I guess only you can decide how long you’re willing to wait for him, or whether you should just move on and accept who he is now, to protect yourself.

– Why are you here? – I eventually asked, – Did someone dare you to try and provoke me, or did you just want to see the freak show up-close?
I watched as the understanding slowly dawned in his eyes, and for a moment, I wondered if he really was just trying to be friendly, and then he laughed.
– Aren’t synfees supposed to be notorious charmers? You’re a little stunted in that department, just from my own observation.
– I’m not a synfee.
– You have their blood, don’t you Harrow?
I shot him a dark look, which somehow only made his smile widen.
– How does everyone here know who I am?
– You’re infamous. Apparently you have hair the colour of a desert sunset, and eyes that flash like a desert storm, nobody told me that your personality was like a desert cactus as well.
To my surprise, a laugh bubbled from my lips. Usually when people commented on my beauty, it was to mock me, but the way this boy spoke, it was as if he were completely unaffected by both my beauty and my blood, which made me warm to him, if only a little.
– Bea, – I looked away from him, to the blossom that I had thrown to the ground earlier, -call me Bea.
He held out his hand, much to my surprise.
– Nice to meet you Bea, I’m Cale, Cale Sekron.

– Who are you? – I asked instead, taking another quick step back.
He put a hand over his heart in mock outrage, though I had a strange feeling that the theatrics were only meant to distract me from the fact that he had taken a step closer, to bridge the space that I was trying to put between us.
– You don’t even recognise your own kind, how sad. – He made a bow, and caught a hold of my hand, raising it to his mouth in clear defiance of my now paralysing horror.
– The name is Nareon Soulstoy. – He said in that silky voice, his eyes glimmering wickedly as his kiss brushed across the back of my hand.
