Madeleine Marie-Rose: Graft (Large Print Edition), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

If the world has a sense of humor, twenty-year-old Ella knows it's a cruel one. How else can she explain the perfect synergy of her autism and the strange body-altering ability she was born with? Dealing with sensory issues and trying to keep involuntarily formed claws and swollen muscles secret would've been difficult enough without one triggering the other. When her home is invaded by violent monsters made from the flesh of creatures they infect and kill, Ella learns it's not just Earth that has its issues. Forced to flee or get ripped apart, Ella gets separated from her family and ends up on a world inhabited by another species that's been fighting-and usually losing-against these monsters for centuries. There's an entire universe of interconnected worlds at risk of annihilation and assimilation, with Earth as the latest frontier. Facing the possibility of being stuck on an unfamiliar alien world while flesh constructs threaten her home and loved ones, Ella must see if she can turn what she's always viewed as a curse into a weapon-as well as find allies and learn to eat new foods, skills she absolutely has and definitely does not struggle with. At all. Ever. Graft is the first in an exciting new series featuring gay "angels," body horror, a touch of biochemistry, and autistic joy, all written by a neurodivergent lesbian author.
