Opis

The facade of freedom is a thinly veiled lie. In present-day America, a power cult can usurp your will and turn you against your friends and family.

Once-more than a thousand years ago-there were people who were immune to Addin control of hearts and minds. Legends around the globe still speak of them-slight people with pointed ears, now relegated to fantasy stories. Their true name has been forgotten.

They were the Kyrennei.

A prophecy says they will one day return, but the Addin vow to exterminate them. The Meikans, the descendants of human allies of the Kyrennei, yet exist, though they live under a tyrannical treaty with the Addin that has bought their survival at the cost of centuries of silence. Now those who have kept faith with the ancient gods for a millennium stand at the cusp of a new era--the time of the Seed.

It begins in a large round valley in the mountains of northeastern Oregon. One day Aranka Miko is a small-town student. The next, she's a prisoner, a reviled mutant and not even considered human.

At the same time, a young doctor code-named Kenyen fights with a band of international outlaws in a clandestine war with impossible odds. His mission is to infiltrate the Addin labs in Idaho where those who carry the genetic code of the Kyrennei are being studied... and murdered.

Kenyen is barely keeping his cover, when Aranka turns up in his lab. She is not like the other young people imprisoned there. For one thing, she can see that he isn't Addin. A careless word from her could destroy the resistance and doom Kenyen's soul. But she could also bring unimagined hope.

Can one girl hold "the seed," the first flicker of hope in a millennium? Can she even survive one more day in the labs?

Cross urban fantasy with a contemporary dystopia and you get "The Soul and the Seed," the opening book of an electrifying new series that you can't put down. "The Kyrennei Series" is the story of a young woman who doesn't fit the mold, a band of international freedom fighters in the heart of America and half-forgotten legends coming to life. Constant emotional tension and living, breathing characters make this an unforgettable saga.

"The Soul and the Seed" is the first book in The Kyrennei Series. The second book is "The Fear and the Solace."
