The Authority of Stars II: Lioness

Clare Bridgewater is a promising young huntress, skilled at all aspects of surviving in the harsh wilderness she calls her home. Unhappy with the monotony of day-to-day life and the jealous contempt of her fellow hunters, she embarks on a journey to the Forgotten Lands where according to ancient scripture there dwells a wild beast the likes of which her clan has never seen before; the lioness.

What she finds in the arid south is a world more advanced than she could have ever imagined; a world where ships fly and synthetic constructs rub shoulders with feral tribesmen; a world where unparalleled beauty walks hand in hand with incredible cruelty.
