Living Next Door To The God Of Love

3.5/5 ( ratings)

"Metropolis is a city of superheroes where you can become anyone you like, fighting all day, partying till dawn ... Sankhara is a universe where everything is remade by night, according to the inhabitants' deepest, darkest dreams ... Koker Ai exists in another time and space, where Intana, less favoured courtesan in the court of a decaying empire, has just discovered a warrior who cannot die ... Jalaeka has been many things in his short lifetime: a war captive, a prostitute, a pilgrim, a pirate, a physics student, and even a princess in a glass coffin. Now he's looking for someone to make him into something better, for the entity which created him is coming to take him back. It has consumed a million worlds, a billion lifeforms. Its power is unrivalled, its evolution relentless." Francine is a fifteen-year-old runaway, out to find a definition of love she can believe in. She finds a palace whose rooms are made of bone, flowers and the hearts of heroes. She finds a scientist looking for the lost light of the universe. She finds herself at the centre of an unstoppable conflict which began long before she was born. And she finds a new boyfriend.
