Lady in the Scarlet Scarf - Paperback

by La Vista (Author)

"Not just the beings. I believe some of the worlds themselves are self-aware, as if the entire planet is a living organism. It is difficult to define living here. Life is not confined to our definition," Surkena said.

It is a story set in two locations in time and deals with themes of love, sacrifice and friendship in a fictional alternate version of Earth. The two time periods are around two thousand years apart.

The novel follows the story of a young couple who would have gotten together in adulthood because of an AI-generated image, after a brief childhood friendship. The husband starts getting dreams about an entity trying to communicate with him through his dreams. In the meantime, there is trouble at the Prime Minister's office, where unauthorised, autonomous conversations are happening between servers in the office.

Are the two events connected? Is everything as it seems? Is it just a software glitch or is there something far more sinister at work? Could a seemingly trivial event determine the path humanity takes? How events from two millennia ago impact our lead couple and their group of friends as they set out to avoid the worst effects of an impending calamity forms the basis of the story.
