Aliya Whiteley: The Loosening Skin & Greensmith, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Two Classic Short Novels by the Award-Winning Author of The Beauty

THE LOOSENING SKIN

Love dies, every seven years. When people shed their skin, it's a fact of life that we cast off our old attachments and move on. But Rose Allington has Extreme Moult Syndrome. Her moults come quicker than most, changing everything about her: not just her relationships, but her tastes, her career, who she is.

When Rose gets a call from superstar Max Black, she has to return to a previous life. She'd been his bodyguard before becoming an investigator, and Max needs both. One of his skins has been stolen, and it could be the end of his career.

GREENSMITH

Penelope Greensmith has lived a quiet life, finding and gathering plants to add to the Collection she inherited from her father. Until the charming and enigmatic Horticulturalist appears in her garden, telling her the Collection could be the key to saving the universe, and Penelope is thrust into an intergalactic adventure.

Penelope finds herself in a baffling universe where string powers interstellar travel, where alien birds fight terrible wars on the bodies of giants, and where plants grow to the size of planets, all while trying to help the Horticulturalist stop a terrible plague -- while her daughter Lily struggles to survive the plague on Earth.
