The Body Politic

Brianna Miller returns to Dolvia where tribal women protest the oppressive rule of Rabbenu Ely by self-torchings in the Cylay Square. Brianna re-establishes her tribal schools and takes on assistant Kelly Osborn who is mixed blood and also a poet.

Kelly visits a neighboring planet Cicero where her aunt Carline Bryant takes over her education. While returning to Dolvia, Kelly meets the Australian adventurer Hershel Henry who has signed on for a tour of Dolvia as a photo-journalist. Henry takes an opportunity to interview the khalif on the opposing side of the tribal wars.

Stella Atrium writes speculative fiction and most recently THE TRIBAL WARS series located on Dolvia in the galaxy's Westend beyond the wormhole. Three novels are published with plans to release the second trilogy in 2024.

Atrium taught at university for 18 years including a course she developed about migration flows that looked at political trends among nations, how personalities can dictate policy, practical impacts on communities, and personal stories of migrants into the USA.
