![]() Most aasimar grew up cautious around others and, like tieflings, were sometimes misunderstood, though never to the hateful extent many of the fiendish bloodlines were. As in tieflings, aasimar bloodlines could sometimes run dormant for generations, reemerging after being hidden for some time. Many aasimar also had a light covering of feathers on their shoulders, where an angel's wings might sprout. Solar-descended aasimars often had brilliant topaz eyes instead or silvery or golden skin and those with couatl or lillend lineage most commonly had small, iridescent scales. Those descended from ghaeles often had pearly opalescent eyes. Most aasimar had pupil-less pale white, gray, or golden eyes and silver hair, but those descended from planetars could also have emerald skin, while those descended from avoral celestials might have feathers mixed in with their hair. While several aasimar were immediately identifiable as such, others were even less distinguishable than tieflings from their human ancestors, commonly standing out with only one unusual feature. Nearly all aasimar were uncommonly beautiful and still, and they were often significantly taller than humans as well. Most commonly, aasimar were very similar to humans, like tieflings and other planetouched. ![]() Aasimar bore the mark of their celestial touch through many different physical features that often varied from individual to individual. ![]()

Darby has gone so far as to write case studies for the various princes and why they aren't as good as they seem.

After awhile you begin to understand why Darby is so set against ever falling in love again. On the anniversary of her one year off men, she meets Jake and instantly assumes the worst about him. But Jake is something special, he is the one that doesn't want to give up. He sees something special and unique in Darby and won't accept no for an answer.

To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone. Told from a trans perspective, Manhunt is a fresh, stomach-turning take on gendered apocalypse. Oh, plus a faction of authoritarian trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) slowly taking over the Eastern seaboard, killing trans people just as quickly as the infected beasts will. In Gretchen Felker-Martin's electric debut novel Manhunt, the book's nightmare world is populated with everyone left - mostly cisgender women, but there are also plenty of non-binary people, transgender men, and transgender women. In an apocalypse where a virus turns anyone with enough testosterone into a feral, cannibalistic beast, who survives?
