The narrator in Surgeburnt is what is known as a Cityspeaker: someone who is in subliminal communication with the embodiment of a city. For her, the relationship is fractious and grudging. She accepted the abilities from a dear friend, who transferred them on his deathbed ... and although we see Tahir only in flashbacks, they have the kind of friendship unique to two damaged, broken souls.
There's no romantic element between the pair, but this song is quite appropriate for Tahir, I think:
Colors - Halsey
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).
