Produktbeschreibung
Skein Of Fates is a science-fantasy steampunk retelling of the Snow White fairytale, but with a major twist or three. The story is set on the planet of Nuetierra, a world of violet skies and flying jellyfish. Deanna, the young female protagonist, is a brown-skinned, Spanglish-speaking descendant of climate-change refugees from Old Earth. Her stepmother is the dictatorial Alcalde of Nue Bayona, against whom a revolutionary struggle is raging. The dwarves are descendants of tribal people brought from Old Earth, once enslaved, but now free and fighting against re-enslavement by their former tall folk masters. Deanna will become involved in both struggles, along with allies she meets on her journey. In the process, she also fights to reunite with her childhood sweetheart, a young man whose own idealistic dreams for change are soured by a terrorist leader masquerading as a rebel for the people. Action, romance, and a princess who doesn't need a prince to save her, all against a Latin-flavored cultural backdrop. Skein of Fates is the first in a series guaranteed to keep the reader asking "What happens next?".
