Riding Tycho

Riding Tycho

by JanMark (Author)

Synopsis

Demetria has never questioned her harsh and joyless life on High Island. The bullying, the guards and the siren's scream announcing yet another failed escape from the prisons of Low Island across the sea, are all she has ever known.

But then Political Prisoner Ianto Morgan is billeted with Demetria's family - and introduces Demetria to a world she never knew existed. He tells her about birds and flight, about science and the sea - and how he travelled thousands of miles to help her distant planet. But most of all he tells her about a world where people live free.

Is Ianto telling the truth or is he a dangerous liar? With nothing left to lose, Demetria knows she must find out . . .
