Psychonaut (The Starblood Trilogy)

Satori is caught between two worlds. There is something he needs in one, but the other keeps drawing him back. However, he is in love and he isn't going to let a little thing like death get in his way. To reach his goal, he must face unimaginable horrors, not least of which is his true self. Star's tortured and broken body awaits Satori, but does she really need him to save her? His rival, a rage-filled young woman, grows more powerful and becomes as twisted as the ribbons in her hair while the demon, Lilith, draws each of them inexorably towards her. Who will survive the coming battle? Full of sex and magic, "Psychonaut" is an exploration into the human psyche and the second book in Voiez's "Starblood" trilogy. "Carmilla Voiez is more of a singer than a writer. She tells her compelling story in a hypnotic, distinctive voice that brings her eerie world vividly to life." Graham Masterton "Psychonaut is a book of mad impulses, inner vision, sadism, escape and belief. You feel uncomfortable reading it, like Alex strapped to the chair in Clockwork Orange being taught to feel sick at atrocity. Rather than leave us crippled by response, though, Psychonaut bears you through the hurt towards the only paradise we can be assured of...a love past fault." Jef Withonef, Houston Press.
