Linda Effinger: Bonesong, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the dead of night, Minka Rowan runs.

She's a black scientist and Songtouched, gifted with the power to see into people's bodies. But her own magic is killing her, and if she can't find a way to overcome it, everything she's fighting to save-to heal-will slip away.

Together with Varen, her best friend, she's running toward the Aurora, the greatest research ship humanity has ever built. It's her chance to earn her place among the stars, to finally cure her sister's illness, and to control the power that is slowly destroying her.

The Aurora greets her with a request: the Songtouched are dying, and Minka is the only one who can figure out why. If she can use her Song. If she can survive it.

And then there's Inaya. Quiet. Enigmatic. A gracity well Minka can't seem to escape. This girl, whose silence hides secrets darker than anything Minka could fathom.

As her research makes progress towards a harrowing truth, Minka is torn between her growing feelings for Inaya and her duty to save her sister - to save all of the Songtouched - before it's too late.
