Excerpt from Empire of Silence

Demetri Arello was Jaddian and thin as a rapier with skin the color of oiled bronze. He smiled, flashing teeth so white I knew they had to be ceramic implants. “Strange for a nobleman to be so desperate as to stoop to my level.” He chuckled self-deprecatingly and leaned back in his seat, ruffling his star-bright hair. It was brighter than his teeth: a luminous, vivid white.

“Your level?” I asked, pouring my own wine from the glass carafe. Outside the arched doorway, the day was hot and steaming, and I could hear the heavy sounds of construction from the half-finished apartment building rising near the docks. “What do you mean?”

Arello smiled. “My ship is fast, but she is no luxury cruiser.” He took me in with an appraising eye, bit his lip intently. “You may not be so comfortable.” The trader stroked his smooth chin with one ringed hand, his smile not faltering.
