When everything else is gone, all you have is hope.
The year is 2098, and the people of New Earth
have been homeless for seventeen years. Ruled by a mysterious Council and
adrift in a fleet of space stations, their sole mission is to survive long
enough to find a new home. They call it The Seek.
Kyntura is the first and only female Avenger —
one of the secret, separate elite who stand on the frontline between the
refugees of Earth and a universe that would do them harm. For Kyn, fight and
pain are the only things that drive out memories of the Apocalypse...and of the
boy she left behind when she enlisted. But a young recruit called Mirren and a
deadly mission will bring her face to face with all she has tried to forget.
As she leads a squad of Avengers in The Seek,
Kyntura will have to face her demons — and the boy whose heart she broke a
decade before — to confront the truth about New Earth and save the future of
humanity.
About the author
Ros Baxter has been writing since she was eight and penned a whimsical series of short stories about a race of tiny people who lived on a rainbow. While a few things intervened – a career in social policy, four children – Ros started writing again in earnest three years ago. In that time, Ros secured a two-book deal with Harper Collins Australia, published Sister Pact (a romantic comedy co-written with her sister Ali), been a contributing author to the e-anthology URL Love, and finaled in the STALI competition. Ros writes transporting stories about love, family, friendship and women in all their glorious strength and contrariness. She loves to turn up the sizzle, throwing heroes and heroines into screwy and sometimes fantastical situations and watching how they take the heat. Ros lives in Brisbane’s North with her husband Blair, four noisy children under eight, a neurotic dog and nine billion germs.
