20-year-old Veterinary Nurse/Trainee Medical Officer Eva Hughes is junior officer on SS Moraturi, transporting 500 colonists to New Eden. Eva’s responsibility is the domestic and farm animals they are bringing, but she is working towards qualifying as both a veterinary and a medical doctor.

What a 21st!

Eva’s big birthday ‘present’ was a tired old spaceship lost in space and time, a motley crew of amnesiac patients, and 500 colonists in cryo. After the wormhole drops them out in the middle of nowhere, they start to figure out where and when they are – and Eva realizes the trip will now take a lifetime.

It was meant to be a one-year trip with 16 crew members – and the 500 passengers in cryo. Just to make life interesting, the cryotechnology can’t keep all the colonists alive for even a decade at a stretch, while their journey to New Eden is going to spin out to at least 40 years.

But maybe, just maybe, three 17-year olds have found the key to their survival.

In a world very much like our own Victorian England, the country of Dalanine is at war. The implacable, unstoppable Despot has been pushing northward for over a year, conquering everything in his path with military and magical force, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake. For Evon Lorantis, Dalanine’s most promising young magician, the war represents the same kind of work he’s always done, inventing and developing new spells for his country’s defense. But as good as he is, he’s still stumped by the mystery the government’s department of Home Defense brings him: a rash of spontaneously occurring fires, hotter than any natural force can produce, melting stone and vaporizing flesh wherever they strike. Home Defense believes it’s a weapon that will finally defeat the Despot. And they want Evon to harness it.
