Book description
Nobody leaves Osiris.
Adelaide Rechnov
Wealthy socialite and granddaughter of the Architect, she spends her
time in pointless luxury, rebelling against her family in a series of
jaded social extravagances and scandals until her twin brother
disappears in mysterious circumstances.
Vikram Bai
He lives in the Western Quarter, home to the poor descendants of
storm refugees and effectively quarantined from the wealthy elite. His
people live with cold and starvation, but the coming brutal winter
promises civil unrest, and a return to the riots of previous years.
As tensions rise in the city, can Adelaide and Vikram bridge the
divide at the heart of Osiris before conspiracies bring them to the
edge of disaster?
E. J. Swift has been making up stories for as long as she can
remember, from the ridiculous to the epic. Although her work has
always contained elements of the fantastical, she came to writing
science fiction almost by accident, and it's given her an entire new
world to explore. She loves reading and writing fiction which creates
new worlds and is inspired by writers who bring the extraordinary to
the ordinary.
Her first published story, 'The Complex', appears in the collection
Best British Fantasy 2013, as well as the January/February 2012
edition of Interzone Magazine.
