The final story is our RHPG. SHe was originally from a city world called New Venice, built on the ruins of the cote du azure (south of france) It was a bawdy, ramshackle world which was slowly dying out. She and a friend cobbled together a boat, and set sail onto the med, but then there was a storm, and the friend got washed away. Instead of going back to the city, the RHPG realised that there wasn't anything left for her in that city, so she goes rampaging and pillaging instead, always trying to find her friend, who is dead, but she refuses to face up to the fact. She picks up a strange boy hanging around on the edges of a massive cityworld, and he 'joins her crew.' This boy is actually katie, andy and theo's son, who managaed to escape from the city world (called the sittadel, I think... ) and is just skulking around on the outside. He joins RHPG, and they talk, and he says stuff about his perspective on andy and theo, bits of the story that we didn't see - like how they were betrayed, etc. (I havent worked out how the goverment found out yet, but hey.) and the two of them swap stories, and come to terms with their own grief, and then sail off into the sunset in search of a new city world. They have a perfectly platonic relationship. I think. :P
The 3 stories aren't told chronologically - they are told all ontop of each other, flicking between them - a chapter of one, then of another, then back again... etc. Although Katies story only runs through the first 2/3 of the book, and RHPG for the lst 2/3. Andy and Theo run the entire way through.
You know the world background, I think, and that's as far as I've got. I still have major holes in my plot, but overall, I'm quite happy with it. It's worrying though, that it's really just a mix of 'Stealing Harry' (the fanfic) and Handmaids tale, with some Exodus (cool book by Julie Bertrang) and schism (awsome comic) and slash thrown in...
