Chosen by WendyK

Hi, Bluewolf458 here again with what I hope are some stories that you like as much as I do. First off -

Chosen by WendyK

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 14280 words
Author on LJ: Not known
Author Website: http://www.852prospect.org/archive/
Why this must be read: - Each year for at least a millenium one of the best of the inhabitants of Atlantis was chosen to become a sacrifice to the Goddess. For a year, the Chosen was nurtured, guarded, and protected by the 'Blessed Protector'. James has been Blessed Protector for fourteen Chosen; on the fifteenth year it was announced that the Chosen was the much-loved Prince Blair, nephew of the King.

And James finds himself asking questions. Asking if it is really in the interests of the land for the best of its inhabitants to die...

WendyK has built up an interesting and convincing world in a story that is a damning indictment of what can happen when a society is ruled by tradition.

This looks very interesting -- and now I have a "new" author's works to delve into. Thank you.
