Maris and Liam were thieves, a pair of teens who made their money on the filthy streets of the city they'd grown up in. A city ruled by the rich and powerful, who used the might of aether to keep the masses in their place.    But when they find a mysterious vial, containing something that hasn’t been seen in centuries, Maris and Liam will find themselves pursued by everyone from the gangs to the highest rulers on the planet. Because they have found the last aether seed, and with it, the key to a history of hope, betrayal and vengeance that could see the power of their world’s oppressors broken—or plunge their entire world into a final darkness.  Book One of Seeds of Hope opens in a city of lost dreams, and lost joy but where it will end… Well, come along for the journey and see.
