ECHO SIGHT
Book 1 of Tainted Faculties
Having lost one leg already to the monstrous, parasitic senka, Enaka knows that they're hard to take seriously as an imperfect shapeshifter among their perfect people. They're determined to prove their usefulness by continuing their dangerous job.
But when a routine hunt becomes an assignment to track down an artifact smuggler who may have lured senka to Akert City, Enaka is thrown out of their depth into a world of misinformation and systemic oppression, where their only ally is a mage from an opposing government who claims to know more about Enaka than they do about themself.
As the two of them race against time to stop the senka plague before the double new moons, they're confronted by forces both mundane and magical, and disturbing truths emerge that change Enaka's life forever. Will their conviction be enough to save the two million souls who call Akert home? Or are the real monsters much closer than they appear?

See What Readers are saying about Echo sight!
"Echo sight is one of the best things I have ever read. It is unique in ways I haven’t see before, the writing itself is absolutely phenomenal, and I honestly thought it was shorter than it was because of quickly I was able to read it. It captures your attention and eventually your soul. These characters feel real and like I would be able to have a conversation with them. This story is about fighting against all odds, about losing so much, but also about finding everything you need in the process. It’s about doing the best you can with what you have and coming to a bittersweet victory. I don’t have to say I would sell my soul to have a copy of this book forever because this story already has it."

"I want the next book yesterday, thanks."
Gabriel H., Editor
"This book had me in its hooks from the very first page. Enaka is a very relatable protagonist and they are very funny and sarcastic. Something I definitely relate to. This book very clearly covers several genres and does so wonderfully. Mystery? Check. Fantasy? Check. Sci fi? Check. Romance? Oh yeah! Even with all of this combined into one novel it never feels forced. I personally loved all of the diversity and representation included in that book. And as a certified book lover the map and glossary made my nerdy heart so happy. The ending left me wanting to read more of these characters and I was so excited to see that it is the first book in The Tainted Faculties series. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book!"
