    About this ebook

    When the gates first opened on Latolan some eight hundred years ago, the only thing the first explorers found were the drunken ruins of a civilization at least a thousand years dead. Since then, The District has taken advantage of the relative neutrality to make the world the home of its headquarters and most of its government funded projects including, among other things, the Grand Tomar Library.

    Two worldviews butt heads when a worlds-renowned anthropologist returns from a summer in the field with a few interesting new takes on the human condition...no matter that he's the furthest thing from human himself.

    Author

    Ashe Thurman

    At one time an engineering student, then a technical illustrator, then a graphic designer,she's now mostly working on pursuing her dream of being a full time fantasy writer. She's delved into script writing, sequential art, interactive fiction, and game story design, as well, and hopes to put all these different ideas in practice in the years to come. Some days she wants to be Neil Gaimen, some days Hiromu Arakawa, some days David Gaider. Other days she’s cosplaying, dragging her poor husband to conventions, adding puppets to her collection, making crochet hats for her favorite voice actors, playing video games, and reading.
