See the new cover for The Bond, first reveal here on SarahFoil.com!
The Bond sets us in an alt-world, the Weave, a matriarchal society where new generations are developed in labs. That’s a pretty familiar set-up, so I wanted to slowly start complicating it. Dinitra, my heroine, is like all the others, designed to serve the society. But she’s also an artist and sees things differently. Like so many of us, she feels she doesn’t belong. Instead of getting assigned to a top-level job, she’s sent to the military, where she’s expected to defend the Weave from what she thinks are a ragtag group of malcontents. As it turns out, there’s much more to the story! Oh, and I give her 12, a battle dog mixed with tiger and lynx and howler monkey (among other things). Dinitra has to learn to love 12, think differently, and trust her artist instincts to survive.
