Black Wing snippits from Connie's FB Page

The girl's face is different than the one on the "Keeper" cover, so I'm betting it's Dena, but the Orb is there with her...??? Can't wait to find out.

JD Connie has pretty much confirmed that it is Quinn on the cover on her Facebook page but in disguise for an undisclosed plot reasons.

Any bets on Connie choosing to post the 4th snippet because one can take but so many e-mails asking, "But WHY!?! The cover makes no sense!! I NEED TO KNOW!!"


Also - Hey Terrett! That's where Ashe took you, hunh?

yeah, Connie just posted another snippet confirming the Quin "Disguise" I was hoping for Dena to get blackwings)

"If you're going to be my assistant in the shop, we'll have to do something about your wings," Lafe mused while studying my feathers. I pulled them tighter against my body, suddenly terrified. Would he cut them away? I backed up and into Terrett.
Waving a hand and shaking his head, Terrett let me know that cutting my wings wasn't an option. Lafe verified Terrett's denial. "I think we should dye them, perhaps. Along with your hair. What you have will stand out anywhere. We don't need to stand out. I imagine that black wings won't raise such a fuss—I know of some who've had mechanical black wings grafted upon their backs and they fly—after a fashion."
"But," I began. How was he going to dye my wings black? Dyed hair was common; wings were not.
"I'm a master at mixing inks and dyes," Lafe lifted a dark eyebrow as he studied me. "My tattoo colors are the best. That's why my business is so good. I figure we'll have to dye your feathers every three or four eight-days, just to ensure that they stay black," he mused as he walked around me.
"What's your name?" he asked as he faced me once more. For a moon-turn, he'd allowed me to mourn while Terrett did his best to feed and clothe me properly. Now, it was time to repay Lafe's generosity.
"Uh, Quin," I hung my head.
"No. Quin it is not. After we dye your wings black, that will be your name. BlackWing."

I think it is a good twisted plot line to try to dye her wings to 'disguise' her. All you have to do is color her wings!

There is enough of Connie's books out there that I don't remember names of minor characters anymore. Thanks for the tip on who Lafe is. Who is Terrett? I searched the last two Ir'Indicti books but did not find him there.

Terrett was introduced in keeper.
