'If you believe in the light, it is because of the dark. If you accept there is life, then you know there's death. And if you believe in God, then you have to believe in the Devil.' 'And to believe in you?' Katya Iskralin has returned for revenge. She is fighting alone, and must act without betraying her true self, her location, or the secrets hidden, sealed deep in her soul. She is a Goddess the world has never experienced before, a blended hybrid of pagan alchemical power and technology; Katya is the Elemental Goddess of Spirit. Old enemies and newer threats pose a risk to the very world itself. A triumvirate of men wish to weaponise her talents, using a combination of cybernic technology and quantum creation. And an old God, who has claimed this world, believes Katya has returned for war. While working the shadows, Katya hides her violent acts from the man she knows is destined to be by her side. Tommy Finn Carcaretta, her lightbringer, will face a decision that will test his understanding of good and evil. Alabaster is the first part of a penology, a five-part series where each instalment introduces another layer, another element. A series where risk and consequence will alter reality. The series explores how the patriarchal society has impacted our world, the Anthropocene Age, and how women can bring balance. Each book contains action, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and thriller themes. For up to date content warnings please check Ariadne Pautina's website.
