The Scryer’s Tale
‘David Zindell is one of the finest talents to appear since Kim Stanley Robinson and William Gibson – perhaps the finest’ Gene Wolfe
Love like angels, hate like demons
Aisha can see an oak tree in the DNA of an acorn, life opening into starry infinity, or the whole of the universe in a grain of sand. But she cannot see her own future or make sense of the prophecy made for her by the ancient scryer, Haddasah:
You will marry the man you hate, and you will slay the man you love.
The man Aisha loves is Sunjay, son of Danlo wi Soli Ringess, the first of the Star Children, the Asta Siluuna, but when she tells him an unforgivable lie, she drives him to a suicidal mission: to become first pilot in history to make the journey from the Milky Way galaxy to Andromeda. Now she must go after him.
Only in blinding, the deepest seeing. Only in the deepest seeing, the truest deed.
