Produktbeschreibung

Wren Crivelli was born with a truly astonishing mind. As a hysteresis user, Wren is able to alter the world around her by focusing her mind on a single solitary thought. This ability is limited to areas in which the user has acquired sufficient knowledge. A fact that keeps girls like Wren locked up. Body and mind alike. While the men possessing Wren's gift are free to study things like; density, friction, gravity, and sensory projection, Purity Maidens are limited to learning about altering clothes, removing stains, and preparing food. The League of Fellows forces all Purity Maidens to work at the Crystal Pedestal, a beautified prison where the wealthy and elite of New Geneva use the Maiden's gift to sport the latest fashion trends, or eat rare and exotic foods.

As events unfold and Wren's family begins to fall apart, she is forced to choose between putting her head down and maintaining her purity or throwing away the only life she has ever known for a chance to be something more.

In order to unite the Purity Maidens and fight back against the League, Wren must unlock her mind's potential, casting off the years of repression and self-doubt the League tucked deep within her soul. This daunting task will require the help of all of Wren's newfound friends, as well as a living legend the world had forgotten.

Autorenporträt

M.R. grew up in an extremely conservative Christian home in 1990s Burlington, Iowa. In that small bubble of the world, M.R. had very few outside influences that were not other white, straight, Christian people. He was taught that LGBTQ+ people were sinners and that they would burn for eternity simply for being who they are. He was taught that women were not suitable for leadership over men, and they should be seen more as help-mates than equals.Over time M.R. began to question such teachings, eventually going to Seminary and getting his masters of divinity to assess things for himself. Little did he know that this searching would lead to the deconstruction of his religion and everything he was taught about the world.His debut novel, The Death of a Songbird, started as a way for him to process this journey and ended as call for others to open their hearts and minds to the full beauty of the world we live in. His writing presents a magic-filled way to help people see the error of deciding the value of someone based on anything but their soul.
