“In these stories lie great power.”

I Tell of Rhu Farrier, her heart unyielding, who lost a limb but never lost her spirit. Upon crutches and metal leg, she crossed a continent with her truest friend, to end a war by ending an emperor’s life. I Tell of Daxian Cloud, of yearning soul, a dragon who served and obeyed his mistress in all things. He knew nothing of his sister’s rebellion and broken Oaths. He paid a terrible price for them all the same. I Tell of Everest Naught, the orphaned nothing, who strived to become more than his name. In his first and dearest friend, he found a family most devoted. In his mentor, he found a shift in his stars. This Tale I Tell so that each age may yet remember, and know that in these stories lie great power.

The Fall Before Flight is an epic fantasy novel that explores the magic of stories, the devastation of loss, and the all-encompassing strength of love. Available now in ebook and paperback on Amazon, B&N, and online retailers worldwide.

Dress up time! I was thinking about what Pa’ani would wear for her wedding to Lucanis, and it was immediately clear to me that she would not want to wear a white dress. She would want something frilly and whimsical with some ✨drama✨ cuz she’s That Bitch (affectionate).

So here are the choices: (all photos from Chotronette and their Instagram)

Pink and purple are Pa’ani’s favorite colors, so the gradient color scheme of going from rich purple to pale pink or peach really suits her. I think if her hair were also a bright purple, it’d have a beautiful symmetry to the whole look. As an elf and one who especially likes to garden, Pa’ani would also love the flower detailing on the third dress and the watercolor-like quality of the shifting colors.

I keep coming back to that first dress, however. There’s something about the almost messy elegance that seems so “her”. It’s colorful, it’s haphazard, and it’s gorgeous.

However…

I could also see her saying she’ll be using that first gown, but arriving at the ceremony in this little number:

The goal, of course, is to make Lucanis’s jaw drop. (And everyone else’s while she’s at it!) If Pa’ani just so happens to dismantle any sense of propriety Caterina had tried to force on the occasion, all the better. Their wedding is going to be a fucking party! All her friends will have the best time, Lucanis will relax and enjoy himself, and Spite will be welcome to join the fun too!
