“Skein of Fates mixes planetary romance with a fairy-tale subtext, and serves it up with an intriguing background of reimagined technology and religion.
The result is delicious!” — Emma Bull-Author of “War For The Oaks”
What if Snow White had been fated to be a revolutionary instead of a pawn?
Leslie Ann Moore’s exciting new science fantasy series The Nuetierra Chronicles re-imagines the classic fairy tale and takes it in a whole new direction. Set on the planet of Nuetierra, a world colonized by climate-change refugees from an alternate Earth where the predominant language spoken in North America is Spanglish, Volume 1, Skein of Fates begins the story of Deanna Hernaan, daughter of Eduard, the former Alcalde of the city of Nue Bayona. Six years ago, Deanna's stepmother Lourdessa led a brutal political coup against her husband. With the consent of the city’s elite, Lourdessa rules through patronage and oppression while Deanna’s father languishes in prison.
The common citizens chafe beneath Lourdessa’s yoke and yearn for their lost democracy. Many in Nue Bayona support a resistance movement led by the mysterious rebel leader known only as Faustin, despite the fact his violent tactics have left innocent people dead.
Threatened by Deanna’s popularity with the common people, Lourdessa jealously arranges for her assassination. But the attempt fails and Deanna escapes from the city. 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—the Tiqui. Recovering in their distant village, Deanna meets a remarkable woman—the Tiqui chieftess Yellow Bird. The chieftess possesses the shamanic gift of foresight. Her visions have revealed that a girl from the race of tall folk would one day come, a girl whose fate is inextricably linked to that of the Tiqui.
When Deanna’s safe haven is destroyed in a night of horrific violence, she must make a choice: leave the Tiqui for a life of solitary exile, or dare to embrace her destiny by embarking on the road to revolution. Dangerous and uncertain, disaster or salvation waits at its end—for both Tiqui and tall folk alike.
