Nuetierra. An alien world where twin moons light the night and massive air-breathing jellyfish float through violet skies.<\/p>\n
Nue Bayona. A gaslit, steam-powered city caught between the iron fist of a despot and the bloody fist of a terrorist.<\/p>\n
Deanna is the daughter of Eduard Hernaan, former Alcalde of Nue Bayona. Six years ago, her stepmother Lourdessa led a brutal political coup against her father. She now rules as dictator while Deanna\u2019s father languishes in prison. The common citizens chafe beneath Lourdessa\u2019s yoke and yearn for their lost democracy.<\/p>\n
Threatened by Deanna\u2019s popularity, Lourdessa arranges for her assassination. The attempt fails and Deanna escapes. Cast adrift in a hostile wilderness and near death, she is rescued by a band of diminutive hunters, members of a mysterious race she knows only from history books\u2014the Tiqui<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Recovering in their distant village, Deanna meets a remarkable woman\u2014the Tiqui chieftess Yellow Bird, who possesses the shamanic gift of foresight. Her visions have revealed that a girl of the tall folk would one day come, whose fate is inextricably linked to that of the Tiqui.<\/p>\n
When Deanna\u2019s haven is destroyed in a night of horrific violence, she must make a choice: remain in exile, or embark on the road to revolution. Dangerous and uncertain, disaster or salvation waits at its end\u2014for both Tiqui and tall folk alike. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":132,"featured_media":63717,"template":"","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[2200],"genre":[97],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
