The intrigue of this novel starts on page one with the crash of the spacecraft Aegean C in an unknown world. When the story leaps forward to the descendants of the survivors five generations later, the ways and means of life are a fascinating mix of old-world tech and secret recipes.
Society is mired in a caste system with a select few who inherit wealth and power while impoverished families hoard the knowledge of any useful skill in order to keep from slipping further down in the system.
For readers 16 and Up, the SCIONS series explores the value of authentic relationships as the characters experience the pressures of prejudice, power, love, poverty, sensuality, loss, and grief�and they wonder, if God exists, does he care about them?
STORYLINE
In 2044, a spacecraft christened Aegean C suffers catastrophic damage as it is leaving Earth�s atmosphere with nearly 2,000 people aboard. The skill of the crew keeps the craft intact until it crash lands on a shelf in a mountain range, not far from the equator. In the days that follow, the people of the Aegean C realize that they are not on the same Earth they left. They�ve either catapulted through time . . . or come to a different planet altogether. In the months and years that follow, they realize that no one is coming to rescue them and they must make a life in a world that is as wild and dangerous as it is bountiful.
CHARACTERS
Shaye�Part of the fifth generation after the �firstlanders,� she is an orphan with neither status nor rights in a world run by the military. She works as a servant in the great house of the Westland, yet longs to walk among her own people as an equal, honorable woman. When she is on the verge of realizing some of her goals, her life takes a series of sudden turns that threaten not only her dreams but her survival.
Jariel is the only daughter of Colonel Jubal McClaren. Viewed as plain and skinny, she is creative, insecure, and sheltered from a world filled with colors, textures, and experiences she can only view from her window in the great house. Until the day of festivities that celebrate her availability to be courted, she is unknown and insignificant in the greater scope of life on the plateau.
Ty McClaren�oldest son in a high-ranking family, he is destined for preeminence, and his future already planned out for him. But it�s not the future he envisions. He must decide if he will walk in a path laid out before him, or take the rough trail where his heart would lead him.
