In Thuis, no one is above the rules.
Officially, Thuis is ruled by the panel, but the true power is held by the committee. They control from a sedentary position, monitoring everything.
As the keeper, it’s Patriz’s responsibility to ensure that the rules are being kept. Sanctions are applied for any breaches – no excuses, no exceptions.
Not even when his own family are breaking the rules.
Tension is rising in Thuis. The panel has been receiving anonymous threats, which is making the leader, Mal, more paranoid than usual. His accusations are relentless, and most of them are directed at Patriz’s sister, Olla. It’s Olla’s son, Connor, who Mal really resents, though. Connor will be his successor, and Mal is determined to prove that he’s unworthy.
Knowing that Mal is trying to gather evidence of Connor flouting the rules, Patriz is keeping a very close eye on his nephew. But he’s so busy monitoring Connor that he misses something crucial.
He fails to notice that Olla’s in over her head.
About the author, Eve Moran:
Eve Moran is a pseudonym.
In her other existence, Eve has worked as an English lecturer and a motorsport journalist. She has also been involved in developing a series of interactive children’s books.
In the past, Eve studied dystopian literature, and this remains one of her key interests. Particular favourites in this genre are We by Yevgeny Zamyatin and 1984 by George Orwell.
Eve enjoys reading fantasy novels, but they must have their roots in reality. It’s the character development that really interests her and draws her into the story. She prefers flawed characters to the archetypal hero or heroine. Her favourite authors in this genre are Neil Gaiman and Naomi Novik.
Eve has some books that will always be special to her. Out of the classics, she loves Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. She also adores Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mocking Bird and Capote’s In Cold Blood. Her favourite authors include Chevy Stevens, Alice Sebold, Hugh Howey, Mo Hayder, Maria Snyder, John Saul, and Margaret Atwood.
