Senayda Pierre
In Plain Sight
Blurb:
“Hide in plain sight. Grandfather’s mantra is forever ingrained in me.”
Sahalie is the last of her lineage, bearing supernatural abilities gifted by the Spirits. She knows that in order to unlock her full potential she needs to find her mate. Yet in order to protect herself Sahalie knows she cannot reveal her secret abilities nor share her lineage with anyone but her true mate. She feels an instant and an undeniable connection with Yuma. Her Spirit Animal, a sassy little red fox is also drawn to the man’s Spirit Animal, a powerful tiger.
The problem?
Yuma is the son of an Elder. An Elder’s son means Yuma is neck-deep in community politics and drama. And she wants none of that. While Sahalie tries to avoid Yuma, the pull of true mates is evident and soon they find themselves unable to stay apart.
“What is it about you Sahalie?” I voice the question that’s haunted me since I first locked gazes with her.
Yuma has a very difficult decision to make… Will he follow his heart and Spirit Animal’s wishes and claim Sahalie as his true mate or will he uphold his duty to the communities and follow through with an arranged mating?
Yuma’s life-altering decision will affect everyone… not just him and Sahalie but the future of all their communities.

EXCERPT # 1
“You’ve always been destined for greatness Sahalie” Sani radiates warmth and compassion. His eyes shutter trying to hide the sadness but I still see it. Outside of this iridescent world holds darkness that’s surely impacted me. I feel it in my entire being but my mind refuses to acknowledge it.
“Now is the time to spread your wings and take that journey. Sometimes you have to lose something dear to you, have a door close on you, before you can find whatever it was you were meant to find. You weren’t meant to stay with us Sahalie. It’s time for you to go. The Spirits have spoken. Those you love have made their choices and now your path has been carved out. It is now up to you to fulfill your destiny. The journey will be long and lonely but it will be tremendously fulfilling. You will accomplish what no one else has. You will strengthen our people and bring us back from the brink.”
I close my eyes at his words. They ring so true, so clear that it’s impossible to deny them. How can I turn my back on my people? It’s the very reason why I’d gone to college to study genetics. I can see the path before me. I’m the only one on it. Ahanu, Bena, and Ojai stand on different paths. They wave goodbye to me with warm smiles and well wishes.
“Yuma” his name escapes my lips before I can process the thought. Something in me is missing. I acknowledge it even in this peaceful world. A part of me isn’t functioning correctly but I can’t tell what. There’s no pain, no negativity, nothing bad or hurtful here.
“Is gone” Sani replies but doesn’t elaborate. I swallow down his response. It wasn’t what I expected but somehow a part of me already knew that. “What path will you take?” Sani asks. He points to the forked paths before me. One is brightly lit with me standing alone being guided by the Spirits. Another path reveals those closest to me but it leaves me with an empty, unfulfilled feeling. If I choose that path I won’t accomplish what Sani hints at. The last path is dark. The shadow of a man and his tiger sends shivers through me. I recognize the hint of longing as I stare at the shadow but I know that’s not really a choice. The shadow is merely a silhouette of something that was.
