House Valdis Origins: Xenobia by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Xenobia is a young woman who is expected to live a life of servitude and as such, she has been enrolled into an academy to train her in everything she needs to know and all she wants to do is stay hidden in plain sight and not get into trouble. The only problem is that she cannot risk getting to know the girl who she shares her room with, not because of worry for her safety, but because of her reaction if they leave.

One day, a girl moves into her room called Urd and she immediately feels like she wants to get to know her, even though it is a terrible idea, but she does anyway and it all goes well until a person with extremely high privilege and abhorrent tasted arrived to take Xenobia and Urd away. This spurs the two on to escape, but will they be able to, it will trouble find them anyway and to what lengths will Xenobia go to to protect her friend?

This is a short story with plenty of action and emotional turmoil packed into it’s pages and is a brilliant novella by this author.
