"In my experience, the difference between hope and despair turns on the tiniest thing..." Thorn, the gilded capital: bedecked in steam and the dust of convoys bearing riches from all across the earth. From here, wise and ruling hands have ensnared all Aurawn in a great story, a Primacy of Peace. A land where every person - human, gobelin, or drake - can dream, toil hard and succeed. Of course, not everyone sees things that way. But when Alexa Temperen stands above Crucible Square and denounces the First and all his government for their injustices, the last thing she imagines is that she'll soon be working for them, as a champion: one of the Sovereign Hand. Because prophecy has spoken. Evil is stirring, and Alexa is just one of five unlikely heroes chosen to face it. They each have their doubts, and in her darkest moment Alexa still must decide: put pride aside and fight for a government she despises, or turn her back on her calling, leaving millions at the mercy of an unimaginable terror...
Paul Gilbert is Ngai Tahu and Pakeha, Wellington born and raised. In 2001 he completed an Honours Degree in Political Science from Victoria University and has further majors in Anthropology and English Literature.
