The House of Styx

A groundbreaking new series set 250 years before The Quantum Magician. Life can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home. In the swirling clouds of Venus, George-tienne and his children are one of a few families of la colonie living on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is deadly for the unprepared or unwary, but the planets atmosphere is far from the only threat a family can face. For the surface of Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldnt exist. For George-tienne and the House of Styx, harnessing it may be worth risking all.
