Archivist's Note: You must excuse my poetic license. Artistic
liberty is something I am rarely afforded, and this tale begs to be
transformed into scripture; everything about it is epic. We begin
with the end. With a fugitive engineer in the far-flung future of
6066 trying to find the emperor who stole her sister. With a
lovelorn time traveller from 19th-century London yearning to return
to the prince who stole his heart. With a forgotten planet
imploding beneath the scars left by the people who stole its
future. Asha knows she's just another voiceless cog in the vast war
machine of the Thracin empire, trapped working on the assembly line
of weapons destined to ensure humans like her never escape. When
she discovers she has a long-lost sister who may still be alive
deep in the bowels of the imperial prison, the decision to risk
everything is made for her. Obi knows he has to find the cure to
the temporal sickness he caught when he split his soul. But when
his path tangles with Asha's they soon realise they are merely
pawns in a grand prophecy of fated heroes meeting again and again
across space and time to thwart an interdimensional apocalypse. And
so they must embark on a quest to the centre of the galaxy,
voyaging across the stars in a deadly race against time and tyranny
to turn their imminent ending into a new beginning. The Principle
of Moments is a symphonic scifi fantasy adventure exploring the
generational trauma of empire and the friendships that can save us
from it - unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of
Becky Chambers, the magic-steeped alternate London of V.E. Schwab,
and the virtuosic climate-craft of N.K. Jemisin.
