Irwin has always disappointed his father, but this will be the last time.

Kobiton is a city that welcomes most. But people with Talents, secret powers, must watch their step.

After descending the mountain with their monthly cache of coal, Samuel 'Irwin' Miner and his father, Albert, have come to deliver their goods and purchase a night to remember at the Hairy Yak Saloon. They enjoy whiskey and meals, and select their women, but Irwin cannot commit to this expectation his father has placed on him. Saryh understands this and acknowledges Irwin's true identity. She supports his courage and his decision. A decision his father refuses to accept.

As Irwin embraces his true self, he grapples with his father's inner demons and confronts societal norms.

This FREE LGBTQ Fantasy novella explores acceptance, self-discovery, and the bonds that transcend difference.

Samuel IRWIN Miner grew up on a lonely mountain top, his small and ordinary life ruled by his father and grandfather. Over the years they mistreat the boy who has special talents and certain feminine ways. Now the nineteen-year-old has seen his father do the unspeakable, and now he has been left bloodied and alone to die deep in the forest by that same man. Irwin pulls himself out of the mud and escapes, but from that day on he will never be the same.

Irwin sets off to explore the planet of Urthis where he slowly realizes his Ferro-kinetic powers help him do more than mint coins, they heal him from death knells and keep those around him grounded. He must learn to survive the wrath of frightening specters that live in the shadows and darkness, avoid creatures who harness the elements, and fight beings who can shapeshift into anything. Only after meeting a beautiful Telepath and a ruggedly handsome shapeshifter does Irwin begin to uncover the secrets of Urthis.

Their friend Yace vanished like a whisper on the breeze. Had Irwin touched her while she lay unconscious from the fright endured he could have ground out the old entity, Lord and Master Dephen Ishik, from her body—from her mind. He hated regretting things he had not done. But worse, he hated hearing the maddening sounds from the metal that rang everywhere, like a terrible bout of vertigo followed by a throbbing headache. Bad things could happen if he didn’t keep his Metalist powers in check, if they didn’t stay out of PCP hands. But they must find Yace. With the chase begun there are few breadcrumbs to follow; it seems that Clan-Duin birds have picked them up and scattered them to the winds.

In their frantic search for Yace, Kipp brings up past events, finding fault with Irwin’s volatile actions. Doubt in one other will arise if they cannot come together with decisions, if they cannot trust each other. They cannot have doubt, if they do then Lord and Master Dephen Ishik wins. And if the elderly Telepath wins, Irwin and Kipp will surely die.

Yet Irwin is resourceful, even when he feels overwhelmed by it all. He must be, or everything could crumble—or worse, they will be captured and locked away, taken to the worse place imaginable and killed. He knows to keep himself in check, but with soldiers surrounding, finding Yace’s trail is a challenge. And the deeper into PCP territory they travel, the worse their odds of survival are. But if they don’t save Yace from her mentally manipulative father, her odds of survival drop to zero. Will they be able to save her before that happens?

Irwin destroyed the Ishik regime to save their friend Yace, but she isn’t the woman they remember her to be. And though they’ve rescued her, Kipp’s attitude towards Yace and Irwin strains their already tenuous relationship. Irwin hates feeling like a failure, but more so, he doesn’t want to disappoint his friends. And their fast-paced drive towards the land of cannibals gives them no room for pause.

Their telepathic Gypsy guide, Nonbry, implores them to meet up in Koumin, a city located half a world away. But there is no easy route for the threesome to take, and cannibals enjoy a good chase. When they meet KaryKaryn, a former cannibal, she assures the trio she can guide them to Ozaroton, a sanctuary city—from there Koumin is only another half a year trek. There is much to combat between here and there, and when the cannibals are Clan-Duins it’s only a matter of time before the travelers are discovered and devoured. 

When they finally arrive in the town of Ozaroton a whirlwind of emotions shroud the tired party of travelers. Although this new place seems perfect, Irwin's past is attempting to ruin his future.
