ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Written in Red" by Anne Bishop explores a world where humans coexist uneasily with the terra indigene, or Others, who are the true rulers of the planet. The story follows Meg Corbyn, a woman on the run from a mysterious past, who seeks refuge in a Courtyard controlled by the Others, and the leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, Simon Wolfgard. The book delves into the complexities of their world, where human law does not apply and the Others maintain control of natural resources and power. As Meg navigates the dangers of her new surroundings and works as the Human Liaison, she also confronts her own personal demons and a vision of her death. The narrative balances themes of safety and danger, and explores the nature of tolerance, trust and survival in a world full of conflict and suspicion.
