Excerpt from the first Gifted Saga novel, titled The Magic Unleashed, currently at about 75k words:
As Brace turned towards the nearest seat she heard a deep but definitely female voice. She looked towards the source... and froze.
Just entering the lobby from the direction of the stairs were a man and a woman. The man looked normal. The woman was anything but. Despite her own transformation, despite seeing many Gifted - some in person, most on the news - who were now obviously something other than a normal human, despite knowing that Marian Holst lived here, what confronted her now challenged Brace's belief in her own eyes.
Walking across the room was a creature literally from myth. Photos didn't do her justice, since most gave little impression of how large she actually was. Objectively, she was quite a beautiful creature, with her black hair and coat and perfect form. It just happened that her form should not exist. Brace found her quite intimidating, and not just because of her size.
The centauress - used to being stared at - ignored the strange woman and continued on her way.
