Tymon leaves his new home and his beloved Samiha to complete his Grafting studies with the famous Oracle of Nur. But Tymon and fellow traveller Jedda find that locating the Oracle in a corrupt and lawless city run by pirates and slave-drivers is no easy matter. Samiha's fate has been predicted by Grafters down the ages. When she is captured in Cherk Harbour and charged with grand heresy, there seems to be no way out...but Tymon does not believe in fate and is desperate to save her lift. As chaos hums through the Tree, survival revolves on the fate of just one.
Mary Victoria was born in 1973 in Boston, Massachusetts. Despite this she managed to live most of her life in other places, including Cyprus, Canada, Sierra Leone, France, and the UK. After a childhood misspent reading fantasy novels, she went on to study art and film, and worked as an animator for ten years. A job on Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings movies brought her to her adoptive home in New Zealand, and rather neatly back to reading and writing fantasy novels -- a ludicrous activity which she has pursued ever since. She now lives in Wellington with her husband and daughter.
