An Earthsea Author Speculative Novel of Penal Planets, Pacifist Resistance, and Wilderness Frontiers

On the harsh penal planet Victoria, two distinct human communities exist in uneasy friction: the ruling City of Victoria, descended from urban criminals, and Shantih, a agricultural settlement established by pacifist exiles known as the People of Peace.

When City leaders demand total economic subjugation and forced labor from Shantih, young Luz Falco—daughter of a prominent City councilor—rejects her aristocratic background. Joining pacifist leader Lev, Luz helps guide a brave group into unexplored wilderness to establish an independent settlement at Heron Valley.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Ursula K. Le Guin delivers an insightful speculative novel on nonviolent resistance and frontier freedom. Perfect for readers of Octavia Butler, Margaret Atwood, and Joanna Russ.
