The Proem: Book 0.5 of The Nome Chronicles
by F. F. John
Falling in love is dangerous in a world where power and profit are key.
It's the 25th century and the nomes, powerful families of the Group of Twenty, control the world and it's resources.
Sixteen-year-old Neith Reffour belongs to one-such powerful nome. A hopeless romantic, she’ll soon be expected to get paired with someone whose family’s business conglomerate is commensurate to hers. Neith knows that a pairing stemming from love is a luxury she won’t be privy to. After all, she's a scioness and will someday control her nome. She understands her responsibility.
That is, until she meets Invier - Nome Floran's twenty-year-old scion. He's handsome with piercing dark eyes. He’s attentive, easy to talk to and extremely intelligent. Everything she could ever want in a partner. But, as perfect as Invier is for her and as genuine as their love is, a relationship with him won't be an easy feat.
The Proem tells the tale of the origins of Neith and Invier's relationship. It is the prequel to The Pursual (Book 1 of the Nome Chronicles Series).
Explore The Proem to discover Neith, Invier and the world they live in.
