YAKlaatu Diskos series.
This second book in a sophisticated science-fiction series (The Obsidian Blade) focuses on Lah Lia, a mysterious girl from the distant future who, raised for ritual sacrifice, escapes her death when minister's son Tucker's sudden appearance through a time gate disrupts the ceremony. Book two further develops Hautman's complex constructs of scientific innovation as well as the evolution of humanity and religion.
