Böcker av Greer W. Hollow

Star-children aren't an oddity, but Ember, volatile like fire, born of death and new light, sure is-a very troublesome, talkative one, who has been kidnapped (twice) by a very miffed warrior, survivor of an apocalypse yet to come.Duly named Miff, said warrior has the mission of challenging Time itself and its rule over History. After a first merciful, failed attempt he must find another way to avoid the rise of a tyrant to lunacy.To avoid Inferno.Two stubborn people on the run from governments and monsters, from the past that becomes the future, with the task of saving the universe twice-once each. If they don't drive each other crazy first.Focusing on the interactions between Ember and Miff, this novelette places weight on their conversations and makes use of well-loved tropes, like time travel, reluctant allies to reluctant friends, self-fulfilling prophecies and the struggle against fate, to explore how the burden of society's greed and expectations brings about the downfall of the individual and of itself.
