“A gripping, fast-paced thriller plot… A fantastic debut that I devoured in one day.” – Rachel Cotterill, Strange Charm (Showcasing Speculative Fiction by Women) Does true love still exist in 2117? Will millions of space umbrellas cool the oceans? Can a clone be trusted? Can anyone be trusted? Neave Alvarez races against the clock to find the answers as she’s thrust into a dangerous world of political intrigue and dark family secrets. The Shade Ring is set in a near future when a fifteen foot rise in sea level has inundated coastal cities while politicians and scientists continue arguing over what to do about runaway global warming. But is her father’s solar shade ring plan the solution? Neave begins to have doubts on an expedition to sunken Charleston where she meets the first man who’s ever vibrated her molecules, only to discover he’s a clone. A clone who asks infuriating questions about what her scientist parents are up to. In a time when clones are the new social underclass, she wrestles with doubts about whether clones have a soul and with her feelings for this cocky Shakespeare-quoting clone, in particular. Equal parts Speculative Fiction, Climate Fiction, Action/Adventure and Romantic Suspense, this is the story of a young woman who must summon the courage to fight for what is right as she finds her place in a hotter, more dangerous world.
