The Artifex and the Muse

Beschreibung

A girl chasing freedom. A boy bound by duty. A rebellion that will change everything. Tonight, Ava must set sail to escape the life of servitude that awaits every child who comes of age. All that stands between her and freedom is one last job: stealing the pharmaka to pay for her passage. She's stolen from the temple priestesses countless times before. What could possibly go wrong? Outside the temple walls, Dom bids a final farewell to his childhood home. The priestesses say he'll find purpose in the life of hard labor that lies ahead. He hopes they're right. What other choice does he have? When their paths collide in the dark forest, Ava and Dom discover the stolen pharmaka has some unfortunate side effects. Like it or not, they're stuck with each other now. But what future could exist for a girl determined to escape her bondage and a boy who's never imagined the possibility of freedom? On their journey together from a mythic past to a digital future, Ava and Dom must answer the question facing every generation coming of age in a world ruled by the powerful: do we submit, or rebel? ...

Autor

In all my fiction writing, I aim to explore humankind's pressing social and sustainability challenges through engaging, thought-provoking, optimistic stories for young adult readers.Fantasy fiction was one of my earliest passions as a child, and as an adult I'm a lover of all forms of speculative fiction. I became an engineer because that seemed the next best thing to magic, and I've spent over twenty years building useful products, leading mission-driven teams, and growing technology startups.But as satisfying as it is to build things in the "real" world, there's nothing quite as fun as building my own worlds from scratch. I'm pleased to share the result in the form of The Artifex and the Muse fantasy series, set in the world of my debut novel Realms Unreel.I sincerely hope you enjoyed The Artifex and the Muse.
