Transgression | Magdalena Hamera

This is a story of choices made for the right reasons, and consequences which are not erased by these reasons.

Here, the past can be studied, and spacetime can be breached. Sorja does both for a living.

She considers the Academy home, and being a Seer the core of who she is — even having left the naivety of youth behind. Thrown into a world unfamiliar to her, she will have to decide for herself who to trust, what to defend, and how far she is willing to go.

Only later will she understand what was truly at stake.

A fantasy about boundaries you only see once you’ve crossed them.

TRANSGRESSION

Sorya was supposed to return to the United Cities. Instead, she stays in a country that once wanted her dead.

For someone raised in the South, Revenia is foreign, ruthless, and governed by rules that are hard to accept. She would rather hate it. But judgments and relationships alike have a way of becoming complicated.

What seems to be one woman’s problem at first, begins to reach far beyond her. Knowledge becomes a tool not only of politics, but of survival. Old conflicts return in new forms, and actions taken to keep some people safe come at a price paid by others.

Sorya is not watching from the sidelines. More and more depends on her decisions. And the more responsible she feels, the harder it is for her to understand who she is becoming.

About the book

Transgression moves at its own pace.

It makes room for conversation, human interaction, politics, and everyday life. The world reveals itself gradually, and some things take shape between the lines before they fully come to light.

Violence and war matter to the story, but they are not spectacle for its own sake. Relationships matter too, but they do not drive the plot as they would in a romance or a drama novel.

The mechanism underlying the world is always present, but it is not magic.

There is no flawless heroine here, no single right side to the conflict, and no character who will tell the reader where the truth lies. Nor will the narrator.

If you are looking for relentless, fast-paced action from beginning to end, darkness as the main attraction, or romantasy, Transgression may not be for you.

Will you stay?

I am particularly drawn to fantasy that can shift our perspectives and allow us to view seemingly obvious things from a different angle.

I am fascinated by ideas — especially whesn they become a personal choice, a relationship, or an institution. When they stop being abstract and leave someone with a bill to pay.

I do not try to settle arguments for my characters. I prefer to create circumstances, build a web of relationships and pressures, and see where they lead.

Transgression grew out of this curiosity.
