Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Heirs of the PastTwelve thousand years separate two worlds. And yet something connects them - something that does not die.Before History had a name, there was a civilisation. Not in books. Not in legends. Only in the memory of those who slept, waiting.Arkon and Syla were not survivors by chance. They were built to endure what was coming - and to carry forward something humanity was not yet ready to receive.Then the sky fell.In 2184, the megalopolis has no sky. Only the colour of an old television tuned to a dead channel.Jonas and Mirea are Glitches - anomalies in a system that does not tolerate anomalies. They feel things others cannot feel. They see connections others have forgotten. And someone wants them gone for it.What they don't know is where what they are comes from. Or why it has survived so long.Heirs of the Past is a dual-timeline novel that spans twelve thousand years of human history - from the dawn of a vanished civilisation to the fall of a future dystopia - tracing the thread that holds them together.A thread almost invisible. But one that has never broken.Between the mythic epic of Part One and the fragmented cyberpunk of Part Two, the novel asks an ancient question: what truly survives time Power Memory Or something harder to name This is not a story of heroes. It is a story of inheritance - of what passes from hand to hand across the millennia, without anyone quite choosing it.For readers who love philosophical speculative fiction. For those who have always felt that History is hiding something. For those who look for novels that stay with them.'Duality is not conflict. It is the oldest form of balance.'.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Kuzuryu Valley, in the old Province of Echigo. 1578 and 2026. A promise that four centuries could not keep silent.A wooden cross, warm to the touch. A red petal beneath the left ear. A promise whispered in a forgotten winter. And the four centuries it took to keep it.In the last years of the Sengoku era, Dario, a mercenary who has crossed half the world in search of a war worth dying in, is captured by the Himuro clan of Echigo Province. He should be executed. Instead, Princess Himuro spares him. What begins as a debt of blood becomes something neither of them knows how to name. Then treachery brings down the walls of Kasugayama, and a mountain cave is sealed behind them with cherry petals scattered upon the snow.Four centuries later, the Virtus Group of Milan, led by its young CEO Dario Valli, pursues an impossible Japanese contract: a hydroelectric dam in the mountains of Niigata. On the far side of a high-resolution screen, the CEO of the Himuro holding does not know why she trusts this stranger with the deal that could destroy her clan. Dario Valli does not know why the valley feels familiar. Neither of them knows that a small wooden cross has been waiting under a plum tree for four hundred years, still warm.The Snow Oath is a dual-timeline historical fantasy of love, memory and betrayal: where the flower that does not die blooms in the snow.For readers of: Shogun by James Clavell, Silence by Shusaku Endo, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, and the historical fiction of Kate Morton and Susanna Kearsley.About the settingGrounded in careful research into the Sengoku period, the tradition of the kakure kirishitan (the hidden Christians of Japan) and the aesthetics of mono no aware: the beauty of things that pass.…

Sono stati costruiti per resistere a cio che stava per accadere - e per portare avanti qualcosa che l'umanita non era ancora pronta a ricevere.Poi il cielo e caduto.Nel 2184, la megalopoli non ha cielo.

E perche e sopravvissuto cosi a lungo.Eredi del Passato e un romanzo a doppia linea temporale che attraversa dodicimila anni di storia umana - dall'alba di una civilta scomparsa alla caduta di una distopia futura - cercando il filo che le tiene insieme.Un filo sottile.
