Aya's family has to move. The Triumvirate have picked up their sound and, even now, are sending the Borgs on patrol, sweeping the sewers for signs of anyone breathing the oxygen so vital to human survival.

Aya's family has to move. The Triumvirate have picked up their sound and, even now, are sending the Borgs on patrol, sweeping the sewers for signs of anyone breathing the oxygen so vital to human survival. One by one, Aya has rescued a collection of human children from the Recycling Dumpster, as well as a mutant reject and an old robot named Blu. Raising them in the old sewers below Megacity on cabbage, water cress, fish, and frogs, she preserves the history of human kind by telling them stories about The Time Before when their kind ruled the earth. But now, they must move like rats through the sewers under the city to the fabled place called Trezarium where they can see the sky and breathe the air. Aya remembers the way back from her parents who survived the purge, only to be recycled by the Triumvirate. Those tales kept her company when she was orphaned, warm through cold nights, and fed her when she was hungry. Now she would have this small band of wanderers do the same, salvaging the history of humans.

Autorenporträt
As an anthropology student many years ago, Trisha O'Keefe became aware of the past's potential for mystery. While living and studying in Egypt, she began writing with that connection in mind. "Until an instructor remarked some of my papers read more like novels," O'Keefe says. After traveling and studying abroad for 14 years, O'Keefe returned home to the States where she enrolled in graduate school to continue her work in alternative healing traditions. Finally, in response to her mother's question, "What are you going to do for a living?" the author took a teaching job. "I thought I knew something until I got in the classroom. They taught me how ignorant I really am," she says. "And still do." For her literature students, she wrote a book on William Shakespeare, The Bard Rocks, published in 2006 by KIB Publications. O'Keefe lives in Georgia where she teaches and, of course, writes mysteries.
