In an age long ago, gifted hands carved magnificent caverns in a mountain on the roof of the world; their existence was known only to the holy men entrusted with the secrets secured within. But everything changed in Earth Solar year 3026 AD, when these same men became guardians of a female infant who would one day determine the future of mankind. Some two hundred years later, the same mountain is visited by Petra, the first genetically enhanced female. She has arrived to complete her formal education and be trained as a Warrior just as her foremothers had done before her. On a mission to the far side of the galaxy, Petra survives in a hostile and dangerous universe, encountering a British army officer who lives in the 1800s but whose spirit has come to her in waking dreams to protect and love her. But her fate takes an unexpected turn when an assassination attempt forces her to venture into alien space, where she becomes instrumental in the survival of her species. The Sixth Lily Chronicles is a story of love, honor, spirituality, and of one woman's destiny that becomes far more than she ever expected or desired.
