Synopsis
|
A
barren
archipelago, ruled
by the
all-powerful
Divinarchy.
A beautiful human
sacrifice, soon to
be reborn as a
ghost. And
the woman who
would be his
saviour, ready to
challenge the Gods
...
Humility
Garden's only
escape is to
dream. The
gods have ruled
the harsh lands of
Salt for
centuries:
worshipping
Sensuality and
claiming the most
beautiful as their
own. But
when the flamed
chooses her cousin
Beau for the
ritual of
ghosting, Humi
feels the first
stirrings of
desire ...
At the
crossroads of the
islands Delta City
gleams like a
diamond.
Drawing Humi and
Beau to its
wonder, to a
future beyond
their
control. Far
away, ruled by the
secretive ways of
the ghostiers,
spoken in the
language of gods,
Humi's destiny
will become Salt's
destiny - a
fate-filled pact
of love ... |

Review
|
Humility
Garden is an
extraordinary and
deliciously erotic
debut fantasy from
Felicity Savage.
'One of the
freshest and most
interesting voices
to enter fantasy
in a long time ...
Read this book,
and anything else
Felicity Savage
writes. You
will be richly
rewarded'

The
Mercury 13
Members
of the
First Lady
Astronaut
Trainees (FLATs,
also known
as the
"Mercury
13"),
these
seven
women who
once
aspired to
fly into
space
stand
outside
Launch Pad
39B near
the Space
Shuttle
Discovery
in this
photograph
from 1995.
The
so-called
Mercury 13
was a
group of
women who
trained to
become
astronauts
for
America's
first
human
spaceflight
program in
the early
1960s.
Although
FLATs was
never an
official
NASA
program,
the
commitment
of these
women
paved the
way for
others who
followed.
Visiting
the space
center as
invited
guests of
STS-63
Pilot
Eileen
Collins,
the first
female
shuttle
pilot and
later the
first
female
shuttle
commander,
are (from

Gene Nora
Jessen,
Wally
Funk,
Jerrie
Cobb,
Jerri
Truhill,
Sarah
Rutley,
Myrtle
Cagle and
Bernice
Steadman. |
