Between the Crystals is coming this August! Please add this to your library to get notified when I start posting the chapters! Summary: Run. Don't look back. Centuries after an alien invasion, humans are still being hunted. Natalie is a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations. Every day, she risks her life by leaving the village to help find enough food to feed everyone. Getting caught is certain death, and if a village is discovered, the Saursunes will destroy it. It's a deadly game of cat and mouse, and all Natalie can do is run. Trouble arises when other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms. As the Saursunes determine how to deal with the lingering human nuisance, the hunts begin, and the porters and groups must be increasingly careful. Several times, she's heard the lizard-like claws slice into the leaf litter behind her. The Saursune could have easily overtaken her. All it would take is one powerful bite, claw slash, or weapon blast to end her life. Yet, she's always managed to escape. When she is trapped in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. But the Saursunes don't seem to be done with her yet...
