Diviner's Bow by Sharon Lee
Ihr Name ist Natalija. Sie bemuht sich, ihre Vergangenheit auer Acht zu lassen. Dennoch spaziert sie ihr in den Jahren, in denen unweigerlich alle Rechnungen des Lebens zusammenlaufen, wie ein Strahl der fruhen Morgensonne nach dem Erwachen, ganz von allein und ungerufen in die Gedanken hinein ... Nach Jahren, die hinter ihr liegen, lebt sie glucklich und zufrieden mit sich selbst, irgendwo in den Hochalpen, in Norditalien. Der Weg gen Marchen fuhrte sie von einen kleinen Ortchen in Serbien uber Deutschland, dann erneut Serbien - in jenen schwierigsten Neunzigern - nach Italien und in die Straen Roms, wo sie dank humanitaren Organisationen uberleben konnte. Hinter ihr liegen eine Kindheit, in der sie nie wahre elterliche Liebe erfahren hatte, eine Ehe ohne die geringste Spur von Liebe, auerdem viel Pein, Erniedrigung und Leid, zwei Sohne - die einzigen Lichtpunkte ihrer Vergangenheit, grenzenlose Hingabe und etliche Traume ... Ihre Vergangenheit unterscheidet sich wahrscheinlich nicht sonderlich von anderen Lebensgeschichten der Frauen vom Balkan, aber ihre Gegenwart ist das, wovon viele dieser Frauen ewiglich traumen werden. Und zu eben diese Gegenwart kam sie, indem sie ihren Traumen folgte ... All ihre falschen Entscheidungen hat sie selber getroffen, ebenso kamen sie auch ihre Lebensfehler teuer zu stehen, aber sie hat sich alles, was sie heute ist, selber erkampft. Deswegen hegt sie keine groen Lebenstraume mehr. Heute ist sie eine Frau im besten Alter, die ihr Leben geniet ... Von diesem in einen kleinen Ort in Serbien geborenen Madchen hat sie einzig und allein den Namen und die Erinnerungen behalten. Aus der Rezension Dragan Tosic, Prof.
Praise for the Liaden Universe series:
“I love the Liaden Universe books for their complex weaving of cultures and manners and the dangers of space travelI was fascinated by Ribbon Dance’s focus on the careful work of establishing trade with a long-isolated world where psi powers are common. At play are the differences between offworld procedures and the traditions and suspicions of the planetary society. And an elderly, politely demanding norbear.” —Kathryn Sullivan, Talking to Trees
“Time spent with the Tree and Dragon is always a joy. Ribbon Dance is a marvelous tale, a feast for Liaden fans. And everyone should be a Liaden fan.” —#1 New York Times Best Seller Patricia Briggs
“Space Opera as finely crafted as a Tree-and-Dragon trade deal. Lee and Miller always deliver the goods.” —Jack Campbell, author of In Our Stars and Implacable
“Breathtaking, innovative, and absolutely charming!” —Lawrence M. Schoen, award-winning author of Barsk: The Elephants’ Graveyard
“A brilliant entry in the Liaden series, with romance, intrigue, new friends
and old, and a new world to test Clan Korval!” —Ryk Spoor, author of Choosing the Players and the Demons of the Past trilogy
“Starts fast and runs hot and true. Perhaps Lee & Miller’s strongest work to date. Space opera the way it should be.” —James D. Macdonald, coauthor of The Price of the Stars
“Deftly written, with politics, passion and power winding together to create an incredibly satisfying story that spans generations, cultures, and worlds. What a treat. Sure to satisfy long-time readers and newcomers alike!” —C.E. Murphy, author of The Walker Papers series

Maine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late 1980s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, an inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power.
In the decades since, until Steve's death in 2024, the Lee-and-Miller writing team published over 100 works of fantastic fiction, the majority set in their genre-bending Liaden Universe®, demonstrating their shared philosophy that fiction ought to be fun—both the reading and the writing of it.
During their long and storied career, Steve and Sharon were celebrated as guests of honor at more than two dozen science fiction conventions across the country and were also frequent panelist and featured speakers.
Their awards include the Prizm for Best Futuristic Romance, The Golden Duck for Best YA SF, the Reader’s Choice Award for the Year’s Best Military and Adventure SF of 2017, and the Edward E. Smith Memoria Award for Imaginative Fiction (the Skylark).
Sharon is continuing to work in the universe she and Steve built together.
