Learning to Hope Again by Megan Bryar

Learning to Hope Again

Megan Bryar

Seán has never had an easy life, to say the least. His mother died in mysterious circumstances when he was still very young, leaving him to be raised by a father who hated him for who he is and who regularly thrashed him for everything he did. Worse, he grew up in the outlaw settlement of Seawash, which meant there was no-one he could turn to for help and nowhere to go. Outlaws on the island of Viridis have no legal protections and are considered fair game.

Then he met his elder half-sister, who accepted him for who he really is and who took him into her home and her heart as family. Slowly, he began to find his place in the world. He found a girlfriend who loved him in spite of his dark past and his many scars, and he began to learn to love himself, too. Some darkness still remains, but it's fading.

If you like this, please, please go and tell her. She did an amazing job with this, and she captured Seán perfectly with almost no information to go on.

    Lovely! If a bit anachronistic, considering his clothes.

      Maybe a little, yeah. But this was basically a wing-it, so Jackie didn't really have much to go on besides a couple of reference pictures and his name. Besides, I've always had a bad habit of dressing my characters in fairly modern clothes. Since they're from a different planet anyway, there's nothing that says fashion on their world has to follow the same trends it did on ours.

        True! There's this little problem that modern clothing is enabled by modern fabrics and modern fibres. ;-)

        It's a lovely picture one way or the other and that's the most important thing, isn't it?

          Well yeah, there is that. I'd probably be more of a stickler about period specific clothing, but I don't want to be a huge pain the butt to the artists who draw for me. Especially not when she was already doing far more than was even fair.

    This is gorgeous. I really enjoy the tones in this, they're very neutral and set the mood well.

      Oh, I definitely agree. Jackie really did an outstanding job with this, I think.
