The setting of A Daughter of No Nation is a compelling one, with sea-faring vessels and court cases settled by dueling swords, magical inscriptions wielding incredible powers, imaginative creatures and debonair ship captains. With the help of her adoptive brother, Bram, back in San Francisco, Sophie is bound and determined to solve the riddle of Stormwrack’s existence, and her place in both worlds. Plus, Stormwrack is full of magic magic plays a part in every aspect of life there, while technology languishes.Īre Stormwrack and Earth parallel worlds? Is Stormwrack Earth’s future? Although she has been forbidden from doing research for fear of exposing Stormwrack to meddling and possibly disastrous factions on Earth, Sophie cannot quell her curiosity, and refuses to refrain from documenting her observations within the parameters dictated to her. But the land masses are far different, and the cultures, governments and developments vastly divergent. Sophie also desperately wants to understand the mystery of Stormwrack The stars are the same as on Earth, the climates and physics very similar, as well as much of the flora and fauna. While Stormwrack politics are prickly – as is Cly’s sense of justice as well as his wounded ego – there might be a way to circumvent procedure if Sophie is officially named as Cly’s daughter. The hope is that Sophie can influence her birth father – dashing negotiator and Duelist-Advocate Clydon Banning – to find a way to legally divorce her mother, in effect freeing Beatrice from her imprisonment. After being exiled from Stormwrack at the end of Child of a Hidden Sea, and forbidden to speak of her experiences while in her own world, Sophie finds herself suddenly summoned back to this other land to help facilitate the release of her birth mother, Beatrice, who has been confined to one of the sea-faring ships of the Fleet on charges of fraud, breach of contract and bigamy – all due to Sophie’s now public birth.
