Hackwith, author of <i>The Library of the Unwritten<br></i><br>"... A plot twisty, heart-stealing delight. It's <b>the whole space opera package</b>: the Vai are some of the most perspective-shifting, most poignant, most <i>alien</i> extraterrestrials I've ever encountered, the corporate overlords have their scum dials turned up to eleven, and the love story at its core is tragic and hopeful and beautiful all at once. It's a safe bet that this debut is the start of something really special."--Bryan Camp, Author of <i>The City of Lost Fortunes</i> and <i>Gather the Fortunes</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>KAREN OSBORNE is a speculative fiction writer and visual storyteller living in Baltimore.
