Zahra Delsine, a debut author, grew up in a small coastal town, where long winters and the sea’s icy stillness inspired her fascination with cold, desolate landscapes. Before writing Judex: Ceige and Sloane, she worked as a scientific illustrator, capturing the beauty of nature’s most fragile and intricate details—ice crystals, snow patterns, and arctic wildlife.
Zahra is an advocate for environmental preservation and often incorporates themes of ecological fragility into her work.
She currently resides in a Vermont, surrounded by woods, where she draws inspiration from her natural surroundings and drafts her next novel.
In the frozen dystopia of Cryosium, where justice is bought and sold like black market goods, two elite cop cum assassins known as Judex find themselves on a collision course with truth, vengeance, and each other.
As they infiltrate the shadowy corporation Eiskorps, Ceige and Sloane uncover horrors beyond imagination – human experimentation, living weapons, and a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of Cryosium’s power structure. The deeper they dig, the more personal the mission becomes, especially for Sloane, whose connection to Eira’s dark work is written in blood.
