On a savage, outlying planet an enclave of psionically-
trained humans have built a utopian, matriarchal society
that lives in harmony with all life. Leaving behind the
polluted and corrupt world in which they lived, they
colonized a new home far from the eyes of the galactic
empire. Shielded from the rest of the galaxy by the
dangerous beasts that inhabit their lush, forested world,
the village lives a simple life under their Home Dome.
But their goal was more than just to live in peace - they
wanted to create the perfect human who could bring peace
to the galaxy. Rather than merely cloning themselves,
they began to manipulate genes in order to create a race
of mutants with enhanced telepathic powers. Under the direction of the ruling witch coven, each child
of the Windfall Dome is tested at a young age to asses
their abilities - a test which can plot the course for
the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, Cheobawn - the
daughter of the ruling First Mother to the dome - is
marked with the Black Bead on her Choosing Day, a symbol
of bad luck and shame. It seems the child the mothers had
placed so much hope in would not be the future ruler they
had hoped for. Yet there is something powerful about her
that the elders don’t understand. Finally of age, Cheobawn is chosen to join a pack to act
as the psychic Ear on a foraging mission outside the
dome. She knows this is her chance to prove herself. But
something sinister stalks them and each member of the
pack must draw on their unique strengths and a lifetime
of training if they want to survive to see another day. In her visionary new series The Black Bead Chronicles,
author J.D. Lakey invites you to journey along with
Cheobawn, Megan, Tam, Connor, and Alain as they use their
wits and their Luck to unravel the mysteries of the
deceptively bucolic life beneath the dome in this coming
of age metaphysical science fiction adventure.
