The Pairing 

Our heroine is Soldier, rescued as a small child, from the robbers who killed her parents, by the enigmatic and ruthless General Toi. She grows to be his most trusted and gifted warrior, dispassionate and efficient in the execution of her military duties. But when she falls prey to the almost folkloric phenomenon of ‘the pairing’ and experiences the awakening of love for another human being all her certainties are swept away and she finds herself on the run, in hiding, and, ultimately, on the attack. She and the band of survivors she joins are looking for peace and security, but also answers to the deepest existential questions about where they are, why they are here, and what kind of future they can build?
