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'
Nancy Kress

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