The Harvest of Lies

by Mark Henwick

Overview

Saigon at dawn, they say, is like waking from an opium dream. But dreams become nightmares when monsters can take any shape - even a human one. It's approaching the end of the nineteenth century, in the French colonial empire of the Far East. Bian is a young Annamese girl whose disgraced father is hounded by lies that he stole the emperor's gold. In a desperate bid to free her of their bad luck, Bian's parents hide the truth of their situation and sell her to the Beauclercs, a French couple, who are looking to adopt a child. But the bad luck is a curse that follows her. When Bian leans the awful truth about the events surrounding her adoption by the Beauclercs, she commits herself to finding her lost sister, whatever the cost. Nothing will stop her, not even finding out that underneath the civilized facade of Saigon seethes a different world of human predators, shape-shifting tigers and blood-drinking vampires. Alone and betrayed, she finds that there are no easy choices and she must reap the harvest of lies.

About the Author

Mark was born in Africa and left out in the sun too often.
An early interest in philosophy and psychology was adequately exorcised by tending bars. And while trying to enroll in a class to read Science Fiction full time, he ended up taking an engineering degree which splendidly qualified him to move into marketing. That in turn spawned a late onset career in creative writing.
When not working, Mark gets high by the slightly less conventional means of a small microlight aircraft, or down and dirty on a mountain bike.
He lives with his family in the south of England, but can often be found in the Rockies.
