The Stratus House
Cirrus landed herself in a heap of trouble: she promised a technolich she'd learn everything there was to know about the apocryphal house she entered. Only this house is a training ground for young royalty. And she has to survive its trials to even leave the place. Each world is stranger than the last, and each lesson is hard-won. The sequel to Cirrus Kingfisher. A far-future portal soft science fiction.
The sequel to Cirrus Kingfisher and my NaNoWriMo project for 2020, Stratus House pits Cirrus and a group of friends she makes along the way against societal, environmental, and psychological extremes: from an ancient stage run on pirate power to a corporate-owned floating ecofarm under attack by a neighboring island, Cirrus must learn to navigate a universe made diverse.
Equal parts space-travel and problem-solving, Stratus House promises surprises behind every door.
