Produktbeschreibung

It's been almost a year since Fiammetta Alba was appointed Pilot of the jumpship Umbra. As the new second in command of Azure Traverse, settling disputes and maintaining relations between traders, miners and the daunting aliens called Enosi are now part of her daily life. A sudden, seemingly absurd request of Azure Traverse's oldest ally, Golden Sails, pushes her at the center of the centuries-old, muted strife between the three regions of human space the Core Worlds, In Between and the Rim.

Could there ever be truth in the Earth Alliance's claims that jumpship travel is dangerous and unreliable, that the Spacefaring Guilds should be brought to heel and forbidden to fly? Why would Terra Ascending, closest to the Core Worlds, bow to what amounts to self-anihilation? Why, when to them as well, there is nothing more wondrous than Sailing the Deep : Sharing drops of Life, In Diving into the Sea of Chaos, and Out Falling among sparkling clusters of stars?

And why do the Dwellers, the eerie, wraith-like alien beings found at the remotest edge of human space, choose this same moment to start spewing out nonsensical warnings regarding a Tower touched by Winter?

What's the meaning of this illusion they weave, of a sky of blue and green breaking?

Autorenporträt

I'm a native French-speaking person living in Belgium who, crazily enough, writes fiction solely in English. I fell in love with the language when I was a teenager who had already devoured all the cartoons and books in French that she could, and had no other choice but to turn toward those new and fascinating English-speaking TV channels we were lucky enough to get via the cable in the 1980s.

Avid reader of Science-fiction and Fantasy, I worship JRR Tolkien, Roger Zelazny, Carolyn J. Cherryh, Jack Vance, Ursula Le Guin, Tad Williams and Robin Hobb, not necessarily in that order. I also love manga and Japanese animation. Among the titles that stayed with me are Saint Seiya, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Tenku no Escaflowne, Arslan Senki, Violonist of Hamelin, Made In Abyss, Mahoutsukai no Yome, and many, many others. Last, but not least, I get a lot of inspiration from watching (way too many) TV series. Among those, I'll always cherish and love Babylon 5 above all others.

A rather long time ago, I graduated from the Liege University with a master in Computer Science and a teaching degree, after getting an undergraduate degree in Engineering. Interestingly enough, when I started out on my first job while still spending a lot of time writing, my mom told me she knew I had always been more of a literary person than a scientific person!

Greece is my second home, and one of my many sources of inspiration, the place where Time bends just a tiny little bit to my will, and I can write to my soul's content.

Also, I am an unrepentant cat-lover, and a woman of passionate opinions who tries to get involved with helping to make a better future for Europe.
