Where The Fields Grow Light
Description
Shanti is a young woman who spends her days helping out behind the counter of the family general store in the small village of Graama. Seeing as her family and friends are content to remain working hard in the shops and fields of Graama, Shanti feels she must restrain her dreams of seeing far off places from the stories she heard as a child.
But when a chance comes up to travel to the distant city of Gorduum, as part of her mother's business, she leaps at the opportunity; though she worries about leaving her family to cope without her. She doesn't know how she feels about leaving behind two young men who often seek her company either.
Before long she is caught up in the world of the lights traders, companies that grow plants which glow and illuminate the city. With her uncle's help she begins to navigate through this shining unfamiliar city to complete her business, but finds herself spending more and more time with a man pursuing darker goals.
Where The Fields Grow Light is the first full-length novel by New Zealand author Aaron Dick. This fantasy story features family left behind in search of something more, beautiful sights and luxurious places, strange technologies, the perilous navigation of a new and unfamiliar society, chances for romance, and a slow descent into something dark and dangerous.
