Book 1 of the Duchy Wars
Science Fiction
Date Published: 03-25-2025
A rewarding travelogue through a richly drawn world and its cultures,
this arresting series-starter finds Atrium, a master of anthropological
science fiction, inviting in new readers with an enticing hook. Bybiis has the
talent of a beastmaster, enabling her to command a host of creatures. For
this, she is tortured and inked with magic-suppressing tattoos. Bybiis and
Ariseng, from the Siibabean forest, are warned by a mystic shopkeeper,
Ariseng’s aunt, that the two are “stronger together than either is
alone.”
Review
The book is full of description so realistic as to pull you in and hold you captive til the very end. It made me feel like I was a part of the story, watching it unfold in front of me.
Stella Atrium's fascinating mix of well developed characters you can root for combined with a great adventure makes this book an easy and quick read.
Ultimately, this was packed with questions and intrigue and a great story.
About the Author
Stella Atrium is a cynical septuagenarian who has spent a lifetime
exploring female characters for real world reactions to obstacles. Often
pushed into submissive and non-verbal roles, women really live in a world of
networking among aunties, cousins, wives of husbands, convenient friends and
neighbors. This rich world is largely unexplored.
“I grew up with all brothers, so I knew about women from stories and from school. What I found at school wasn’t anything like in the stories, so I set out to learn why.”
