Centuries ago, the skies turned black, and for 300 years, Londoners survived in the dank, underground tunnels of the city. Until one day, a stranger from a faraway land offered to save them. Though it wasn’t without cost...and he has come to collect. When Selene is taken to Master Blackburn’s infamous estate, she fears she and the orphans she’s sworn to protect will meet a gruesome end, like so many others before them. But the beastly landowner is not all there is to fear, and Selene soon learns nothing in Briarwood is as it seems.

Nominado al Premio Altazor 2014. La tierra del cielo es un territorio que nos sirve para metaforizar los saberes que los pueblos originarios han acumulado sobre el firmamento. Como en todas las sociedades, los antiguos moradores de lo que hoy llamamos Chile alzaron su vista para descifrar los ciclos de las estrellas, del Sol, de la Luna, construyeron teorías sobre su origen y elaboraron pensamientos e ideas sobre las maneras en que se creó el cielo y la Tierra. Todos los elementos se conjugan en el firmamento: humanos, animales y culturales.

Ausgehend von den beiden ikonischen Daten 753 v. Chr. (der Legende nach die Gründung Roms) und 476 n. Chr.

Das war nicht nur ein langer Zeitraum, sondern auch ein ereignisreicher - immerhin eroberten die Bewohner der Stadt am Tiber ein Reich, das bei seiner größten Ausdehnung 116 n. Chr. den Großteil Europas sowie Teile Nordafrikas und Kleinasiens umfasste.
