Leica, an exiled orphan whose six-fingered mutation means she is considered to be “corrupted” by sin, stumbles upon the remains of a shuttle that could mean a way back to Earth. After plague kills her work crew, she seeks refuge in the Curadors’ dome, but in order to gain entry she is forced to become a concubine to a mysterious young Curador, Edison. In a twisted exploration of atonement and survival, Etienne (Harbinger) draws inspiration from a lesser-known Grimm’s fairy tale, “Fitcher’s Bird,” preserving that story’s bloody moments in scenes that include a throat slit in a mercy killing or the discovery of “little skeletons tucked into bed.” Genetic tests fuse animal and machine; Curadores regard women as incubators, pets, or property; allies sometimes prove to be monsters; and lust is one of many complicated emotions to be negotiated. The world of Gabriel is dismal but beautifully rendered by Etienne in stark, terrifying detail.” Kirkus Reviews says: “Through adversity and new alliances, Leica emerges as a compelling, body-positive heroine of color who capitalizes on her strengths and celebrates diversity. Etienne delivers a dystopian tale that deftly dissects stories—fairy tales, religious creation myths, political conspiracies—and develops a richly layered world drawn from such disparate cultures as Korean and Mexican. An ambitious, action-filled adventure that chronicles one girl’s rebellion and the world-shaking revelations that follow.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e40bf51686d8a11f7824a11/t/5e40dfa04b6b8940eece0d9d/1581309998266/indieboundcropped.png Lotus and Thorn https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e40bf51686d8a11f7824a11/t/5e40dff82e50ae04a9d338c0/1581309965047/amazon_transparent-cropped.png Lotus and Thorn https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e40bf51686d8a11f7824a11/t/5e40dfe0c0b99148444ce649/1581309983343/BarnesNoble-transparent.png Lotus and Thorn https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e40bf51686d8a11f7824a11/t/5e40dfba2e50ae04a9d32880/1581310011738/Penguin_Random_House_transparent-cropped.png Lotus and Thorn https://www.sarawilsonetienne.com/harbinger daily 0.75 2020-02-10 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e40bf51686d8a11f7824a11/t/5e40cf65ced26d7c650bba3a/1581315953735/Harbinger-Medium.jpg Harbinger - Praise for Harbinger “Heart-wrenching, terrifying, hot, and un-put-down-able!” — Tamora Pierce “Intricate, suspenseful, completely absorbing.
