Inhaltsangabe

Born Touched by Light.

Sentenced to die in flames.


Maia's birth spells disaster. When a glassmaker discovers his infant daughter is marked by the forbidden power, everything he has built-including his infant son's future-is threatened. He and his wife must decide: give her up to the flames of the Hand of Reason or flee to save her, causing them all to suffer. Sending her away might be their only hope.

Peryst de Arranu, a Touched soldier and monster hunter from the North, where being Touched by Light is a blessing and not a curse, takes his niece Maia as his daughter and begins a perilous journey across southern Ankisua.

To keep Maia safe, Peryst will join rebels, soldiers, and nobles who fight the Hand's hatred and bigotry to keep the regime from burning their world to the ground.


From the darkest peril to the glimmers of hope, TOUCHED BY LIGHT weaves a tale of conviction, sacrifice, and the light that refuses to dim.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Berna Hudson was born in Chile, grew up in Australia, then returned to Chile for her teenage years before moving to Spain. She moved to England in 1999 and stayed. Daughter of a true nomad, she's proved to be less so in practice but very much so in her mind.

Berna's first job was as a money collector from butchers. Side payments in steak kept her alive when funds were short. Her next experience was working for the legal department of a Drug Rehab centre, much less dangerous than the first job. The third was in aircraft financing, which gave her way too much information about aeroplanes, which she has actively tried to forget. The fourth and last in the legal world was in shipping, where she gave her whole salary over to childcare and realised it wasn't worth it so packed up the files.

The Hand of Reason came about by accident. Berna started writing a short story about a girl called Maia. It turned into the tale of Maia's father and went on from there. It was a long time later that Berna realised that it was a story that tried to make sense of her youth, looking at the insidiousness of totalitarianism from all sides.

Berna lives in London with her husband and her Great Dane, Echo.

Her children come and go, but never too far.
