Ashes Of The Sundred Crown

The Crown was broken. The empire burned. Now the shards are waking. Six thousand years ago, the Concordant Empire ruled the Spiral through living crystal, singing warships, foldway gates, and a Crown forged from the First Star. Then the Crown was shattered into eight pieces, the empire collapsed, and the secrets that once bound magic and machine were buried in ruins. Kerin Vale has spent her life walking those ruins. A lone Cinder Pact relic-hunter with a half-illegal salvage cutter and a gift she has spent years hiding, Kerin knows better than to open doors marked with dead imperial sigils. But when she discovers a black, humming shard inside a forgotten Concordant wreck, she awakens something far older - and far more dangerous - than treasure. Across the Spiral, powers begin to move. A disgraced naval lieutenant is hunted by the empire he once served. A noblewoman imprisoned by her own bloodline begins to understand that her "illness" is power. An excommunicated priest-scholar follows a trail of forbidden history. And somewhere in the dark, a centuries-old loomwright who already holds three shards of the Crown waits for the others to be found. Thrown together aboard the Ember Argent, Kerin and her unlikely crew must run from warships, priesthoods, assassins, and the ghosts of a civilisation that should have stayed dead. Because the Crown is being reforged. And whoever wears it may not save the Spiral. They may rule it. Ashes of the Sundered Crown is Book One of The Starwrought Saga, an epic space fantasy adventure for readers who love ancient relics, living starships, forbidden magic, found-family crews, morally complex villains, and vast fallen empires.

Daisy Miller

Daisy Miller, a young American woman of stunning beauty who is visiting Europe with her family, gives her fellow countryman Winterbourne a problem he cannot solve. Is she purposefully disobeying societal norms with her blunt speech and actions, or is she just unaware of them? She becomes close friends with an urbane young Italian, but when she refuses to follow the rules of proper behaviour, she puts herself in danger. The mysterious and dangerously independent American woman, a figure that would come to dominate James' subsequent masterpieces, received its first great portrait in Daisy Miller.
