I will read a story this good on any pretext or none at all ... prose as polished and beautiful as fine poetry, characters absolutely unlike anyone you ever knew but unmistakably real and alive and emotional impact that never becomes mawkish Spider Robinson

The Moon is falling...

Tasman is born into a world populated by twins. Alone, she struggles for acceptance and becomes the unwitting key to the Earth's salvation – to stop Moonfall.

Award-winning poet and artist Heather Spears has created a post-holocaust culture based on the intricate relationships of twins sharing the same body. This is a story of unlikely heroes on a mythic quest to save the Earth from Moonfall.

First volume in a trilogy that continues with Children of Atwar and concludes in The Taming.
