Artemis Awakening - Tor/Forge Blog

Once a month, we’re spotlighting a Tor book that’s about to become available in paperback. Today, we’re featuring opens in a new windowArtemis Awakening, the first of the Artemis series by Jane Lindskold, publishing March 31.

In Artemis Awakening, young archaeologist Griffin Dane is stranded on Artemis, a forgotten but dangerous pleasure planet. With the help of Adara, he struggles to uncover the secrets Artemis has been keeping for centuries. We hope you enjoy this excerpt:

CHAPTER 1

A falling star! What luck!

Adara the Huntress froze in place, watching as a thin white line with a heart of fire grew into a wider streak that rushed earthward at an incredible speed. She frowned thoughtfully.

It must be huge to be visible in daylight.

The moment the streak vanished below the tree line, the ground trembled. A crashing louder than any thunder caused Adara to press her hands protectively over her ears. In the glade around her, spring pale leaves shook and dry needles showered from the evergreens.

Immediately, Adara sent out a mental cry. Sand Shadow had been ranging near where the star must have hit. The puma should be unharmed—Adara would have felt its death or pain.
