The multi-award winning Infinity Project undertakes its seventh and
final voyage in the imagination of the finest science fiction
authors alive... Infinity's End Humanity has made the universe
home. On the outskirts of the solar system, beyond the asteroid
fields, deep in space, under the surface of planets, in the ruins
of fallen civilisations, in the flush of new creation: life finds a
way. From intelligent velociraptors to digital ghosts; from a
creche on an asteroid to an artist using a star system as a canvas,
this is a future where Earth's children have adapted to every nook
and cranny of existence. This is life on the edge of the possible.
Featuring astonishing tales from Stephen Baxter, Alastair Reynolds,
Naomi Kritzer, Paul McAuley, Seanan McGuire, Linda Nagata, Hannu
Rajaniemi, Justina Robson, Kelly Robson, Kristine Kathryn Rusch,
Lavie Tidhar, Peter Watts, Fran Wilde and Nick Wolven.
From the acclaimed author of Fires of the Faithful comes the tale
of an impetuous young woman, freeborn in a world of slavery and
magic. Twenty-year-old Lauria is the favorite aide to Kyros, a
powerful military officer. On his authority, she is messenger,
observer, and spy. But now she is entrusted with a mission more
dangerous than any that have come before Freedom's Gate.
After years of relative peace, word has come to Kyros's compound
that the bandit tribe known as the Alashi is planning an offensive.
It is up to Lauria to infiltrate the Alashi by posing as an escaped
slave--a charge that requires she serve in the household of a
neighboring officer. From there, she will stage an escape and
continue on in her guise as a runaway. But posing as a slave--a
virgin concubine,
no less--may prove the least of her troubles. For even if she does
escape and the Alashi do accept her, how can this freeborn woman
convince them she is slave, not spy? And, worse, what if her own
views are gradually changing, calling everything she believes about
her world into question?
A powerful new voice in fantasy fiction, the acclaimed author of Fires of the Faithful continues her enthralling epic of persecution and war, passion and triumph, and of the brave young woman who must succeed in...
Turning the Storm
She is called musician, rebel, soldier, legend. After months of leading an uprising against the treacherous religious order of the Fedeli and the ruling Circle of Mages, young Eliana is known throughout the land. Striking from the blighted wastelands, her army of reformers has grown in number--adding liberated slaves to its ranks. Driven by their beliefs in the Old Way, Eliana and the soldiers of the Lupi stand on faith alone.
But faith won’t save the Lupi from traitors in their midst--or from the magical fires of the mages. Seeing her soldiers reduced to ashes around her, Eliana takes a desperate gamble: she steps down from command. Then, armed with stolen orders to attend one of the musical ensembles within the Imperial enclave, she disguises herself as a boy, takes up her violin, and heads straight into enemy territory. And now the girl-turned-general adds another title to her rank: spy.
