To get her biological body back, Mara must save her counterpart and embrace the one thing her mentor Ping has always warned her to reject-magic.After her consciousness is transferred to an artificial body during a visit to what her brother Sam calls the realm of the robots, Mara travels to the one place where her biological body can be restored-the realm of the Aphotis. There her counterpart, the Mara of that world, has the biomechanical know-how to help.However, before the procedure can be done, Mara's counterpart is kidnapped by a coven of magic-wielding fanatics led by a charismatic and powerful leader who blames her for destroying their faith.To face this new enemy, Mara must learn new magical concepts that - until now - seemed more like fairy tales than the scientific metaphysical principles Ping has taught her.

Some lives are bigger than one reality. Because they have to be. The day Mara Lantern meets herself, her life gets bigger. When she meets her brother from an alternate universe, it becomes more complicated. And when her new mentor says creatures from other realms are invading this world, she thinks it’s absurd. Until he explodes into a cloud of dust and reassembles himself. That makes her doubt. Then he says only she can stop the invaders. That makes her afraid. -------- Join Mara Lantern and her companions in a seven-volume science fiction adventure through reality, time and space, where they encounter everything from steampunk dream worlds to artificial humans, from dragons to disembodied spirits, where metaphysics is science and magic is just one belief from coming true.

What does it mean to write in and about sound? How can literature, seemingly a silent, visual medium, be sound-bearing? This volume considers these questions by attending to the energy generated by the sonic in literary studies from the late nineteenth century to the present. Sound, whether understood as noise, music, rhythm, voice or vibration, has long shaped literary cultures and their scholarship. In original chapters written by leading scholars in the field, this book tunes in to the literary text as a site of vocalisation, rhythmics and dissonance, as well as an archive of soundscapes, modes of listening, and sound technologies. Sound and Literature is unique for the breadth and plurality of its approach, and for its interrogation and methodological mapping of the field of literary sound studies.
