Another inspo pic of Raveno Haviir! Developing my alien warrior in Sight Beyond the Sun began with the goal of exploring something different than Beyond the Next Star. Although both stories are sci-fi alien abduction romances and both heroes are military heros, I wanted completely different motivations for the abduction, a different look and society for the aliens, different conflicts throughout the story, and different themes to explore. Torek had fur in book 1, so I gave Raveno scales in book 2. And from there, I simply ran with it, giving Raveno snake-like characteristics for many of his physical features and mannerisms—a bifurcated tongue, vertical slitted pupils, a slithery language—and along with the two tongues, why not two thumbs, and two… well, you’ll find out when you read the book 😜🫣🔥🥵
