Call Off The Search
(A Novel of Spiritual Fantasy, Bi-sexual Romance) (The Comyenti Series Book 1)



Synopsis: 

The planet Bhan. For millennia, humanity has persecuted the beautiful and mysterious human-looking comyentis with a deep set envy and hatred; driving them from their lands; murdering and enslaving them wherever they find them. Why? Comyentis have powers that humans can only dream of. They can merge their minds with animals and use their abilities for the greater good. However they had one weakness that led to their downfall. 

Now, Sula, one of the last of her great and noble line, has been fleeing for her life, living in hiding for too long.  With not just her own life but her whole species' cupped precariously within her hands, Sula is running out of time...

As loneliness and alienation slowly engulfs her, a young attractive human steps forth and reaches out to her...

Should Sula, who is after all half human, trust him?  Can she afford not to?  Will she be able to overcome her aversion to humans to save her species from extinction?

Read "Call Off The Search", book 1 and cling to Sula as she fights for everything she holds dear: her husband, her female lover, her child, her hopes and her freedom.
