Adopted from China as an infant, Victoria Solana celebrates her sixteenth birthday growing up in a small, inconspicuous town in southern Ontario. All of a sudden, her peaceful world turns topsy-turvy. She must flee from two armed men-in-black and an intimidating one-eyed stalker in relentless pursuit.
Guided by a shady art dealer, she embarks on a dangerous journey to China to uncover the truth about her mysterious background. Victoria realizes her biological mother was a warrior in ancient China and her father was the chief of an influential nomadic tribe in another era. They are separated from one another by thousands of years. Moreover, she learns about a secret clan which has been intervening in pivotal historical events in China. They believe in an oracle about a cataclysmic catastrophe called the Stopping Of The Sun and that Victoria is the long-awaited saviour. To her surprise, Victoria learns she must achieve the impossible, stopping hundreds of millions of aliens from colonizing Earth.
This science fiction/historical mystery evokes the spirit of Ted Chiang's Story of Your Life (adapted into the sci-fi movie Arrival) and Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem (adapted into a Netflix mini-series), on steroids. As a bonus, the reader will become an expert on China. Get your copy now. Carpe Liber-seize the book!
