Refractions : book one of The Guardian Cycle
A DISTANT COLONY SHROUDED IN SILENCE.
In the vast expanse of space, Bethesda – humanity’s first extra-solar colony and home to a thriving population of adults and children – has ceased all communication with Earth.
A DEADLY RESCUE MISSION.
Nathalie Hart joined the rescue expedition only to escape the pain and guilt after her sister’s death. But when she’s wrenched out of cryo-sleep far too early, she realises something has gone very wrong on board…
SABOTAGE. MURDER. BETRAYAL.
Nathalie finds herself thrust into command amidst a crew of strangers, each harbouring their own secrets. A scrawled threat, written in a language only she knows, confirms her suspicions. Someone on board will do anything to protect Bethesda’s secrets.
Surrounded by deceit, and with Earth a distant memory, Nathalie must unravel a conspiracy that threatens everyone back on Earth – before the traitors kill her and her crew.
