The Icarus Curse

by Carmen Botman

Overview

Shiloh Reed carries the burden of mankind on her shoulders – literally. Having inherited her father’s notorious legacy in this dystopian world, Shiloh realises that she holds the only blueprints in existence that could potentially save the planet from the brink of extinction. Seasons no longer exist on this planet – each day is hot and dry and food is scarce. Water is rarer than gold. Survival, here at the southern tip of Africa, is a day-to-day battle. Shiloh is a loner and has learned to depend on herself. But with the responsibility of rebuilding the Season Generator and saving the planet fixed squarely on her shoulders, she will have to learn to trust others if she wants to accomplish this mission. Should she trust her instincts? And does she have the courage to fulfil this massive undertaking?

The Icarus Curse is part of Storm Anthology Volume I published by Linzé Brandon on behalf of the Pretoria Writers' Group.

About the Author

Carmen is a South African writer, based in Pretoria, Gauteng (originally from the beautiful city of Cape Town!). She has always been a writer at heart, even though her path led me her to study and work in a field completely unrelated to writing. As the saying goes: 'Nevertheless, she persisted.' Which she did. With a husband and two sons by her side, always supporting her, she never stopped writing – even when it was only just for herself.

She is the founder of Owlish Press Content Agency. She is the co-founder and writer for Seasoned Journeys, a digital lifestyle magazine. And, of course, she writes fiction.
