"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by
Breaking the Spine to spotlight an upcoming release that we're excited about. This week I'm waiting on
Ashes of Twilight by Kassy Tayler
.
Wren MacAvoy works as a
coal miner for a domed city that was constructed in the mid-nineteenth
century to protect the royal blood line of England when astronomers
spotted a comet on a collision course with Earth. Humanity would be
saved by the most groundbreaking technology of the time. But after
nearly 200 years of life beneath the dome, society has become complacent
and the coal is running out. Plus there are those who wonder, is there
life outside the dome or is the world still consumed by fire? When one
of Wren's friends escapes the confines of the dome, he is burned alive
and put on display as a warning to those seeking to disrupt the dome’s
way of life. But Alex’s final words are haunting. “The sky is blue.”
What happens next is a whirlwind of adventure, romance, conspiracy and
the struggle to stay alive in a world where nothing is as it seems. Wren
unwittingly becomes a catalyst for a revolution that destroys the dome
and the only way to survive might be to embrace what the entire society
has feared their entire existence.
Ashes of Twilight comes out November 13, 2012.
wow that first sentence of the blurb is doozey. But the conspiracy of the dome and the final worlds "the sky is blue" remind me a bit of a combo between Incarceron and For Darkness Shows the Stars. Cool WoW. Check out mine!
