Sinopsis

Can the future ever erase the past? Rose has a Cross mother and a Nought father in a society where the pale-skinned Noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a life-long battle against deep-rooted prejudices. Sephy, her mother, has told Rose virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage and becomes determined to find out more, to honour both sides of her heritage. But her father's family has a complicated history - one tied up with the fight for equality for the Nought population. And as Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger. Suddenly it's a game of very high stakes that can only have one winner...

Descripci�n de la librer�a

I will always provide accurate descriptions of my books - I specialize in SIGNED FIRST EDITIONS & MODERN FIRST EDITIONS but sometimes I just can't resist the odd artbook... I OBTAIN A LARGE CHUNK OF AUTHOR SIGNATURES IN PERSON (I attend many author events throughout the year giving my books excellent provenance) the rest I purchase from very reputable book dealers. If you have any queries get in touch: Zeitgeist-Books@hotmail.com
