The Hollow Core

In this volume of the sweeping epic, after six centuries of peace conflict continues to spread through the Matriarchy as the domination of the guilds is challenged. Against this tumultuous background Natacha Celandine, gentle and bright, becomes sucked into the murderous games of the mighty.

Toughened by betrayal and hardship she starts to face life on her own terms. A chance event gives her real power and she is no longer a pawn in this game. This brings new challenges. Can she retain her better virtues as she deals with the threats to her and her loved ones? Or will she succumb to the temptations of the powerful? How can she bring peace to the planet without renouncing the Book of Founders?

A love story with a difference, a science fiction where the science is consigned to the background, a tale of strong passions and difficult choices, the second volume of The Last Heiras is filled with complex characters and vivid invention.
