The Games You Designed
Delan the Mislaid (The Children of the Triad)
By Laurie J Marks
1989’s Delan the Mislaid is the first volume in Laurie J. Marks’ The Children of the Triad trilogy.
The large and ungainly Delan has always been a poorly tolerated, genderless freak. When Teksan offers to buy Delan from the isolated Walker community that he calls home, the Walkers are more than happy to accept.
Slaving for Teksan is an unappealing prospect. So is remaining in a village that sees Delan as either a burden or a commodity. It would seem that life is going to offer Delan very few favours.
