Author Description

"By the end of May Zèlde's studies came to a sudden but expected end with the successful passage of her network exam. The semester was over, as was her time at the Hillington Center. She was by British standards a healthy, socialized and academically proficient young woman, ready to join the entry-level workforce while pursuing her pre-college studies on the Pearson Apple Earth network. By objective standards however, she was Zèlde, child of Lygh the Golden and high priestess Brijidh of Xarthiv, the last known of the Oldfolk, and she was back from twenty less two centuries in a twin of this world, having simultaneously slept among roots and worms, until unearthed by a robot called DUG. Now Palindrome's automated board of directors was actively loading 3D models of her skeleton among their considerations of what to present the CEO." (Warning: some sex, drugs, and violence.
