Produktbeschreibung

Shadow Sister takes place in the vast Obsidian City, at the heart of a cruel and powerful empire. It tells a story of Saiyali Ambon, kidnapped from her forest home as a girl and sold on to a wealthy family from far across the ocean. It unfolds in two arcs that interweave, revealing her character along two alternating timelines: 'Past' and 'Present'. Between these are scattered pages of a guidebook, which illustrate a living, breathing and rather mundane fantasy world.

In 'Past', Saiyali is enslaved, and used as a thief and a killer. Her actions echo and catch up with her in 'Present', where she works for a criminal gang and finally becomes an assassin for the legendary Sisterhood of Shadows. In both timelines she grows to enjoy her life of crime but forces are moving beyond her control, that will ultimately lead her to face both past and present together in a bloody climax, with choices and opportunities she could never have imagined.

Shadow Sister is set in a far-future Earth, where singing can activate aenimus, a kind of life energy that originates from ancient apocalypse and ruin. Descended from survivors of the end of the world, these people are recognizably human despite their magical abilities and their flawed society in many ways mirrors our own. It is an immersive, sensuous, emotional adventure, populated by vivid and morally-ambiguous characters; speculative fiction with shades of noir.

Autorenporträt

CT Remchin grew up and lives by the sea, and writes to distract from everyday life wiping real and metaphorical bottoms. After half a lifetime of watching the world turn upside down, CT decided it was time to turn it the right way up again, in writing. CT used to write mainly songs and poems but during one particularly stressful period, the escapism of a fantasy world became overwhelmingly appealing. Nowadays this self-indulgent fiction is a kind of compensation for days and nights spent caring for others at home and at work. It is also an interesting way to use characters created over many years for role-playing games.

CT Remchin believes in magic, and uses it daily.
