Ever the Night Road

by Michael Breen

Overview

The Night Road connects all things, if one only knows where to look...

In a city of water and glass, seventeen-year-old Dagny Losh searches for some kind of connection to a changing world. When an orphan boy of the marsh goes missing, Dagny's determination in rescuing the child from a decaying oracle tower sets events in motion that lead her to discover a fragment of her old life, before the river washed everything away. A fragment once thought forever lost, and it will take all she has to protect it.

A story of misfits and rogues, crumbling palaces and slums, and a deep underground, all joined together by fate and the stars.

Ever the Night Road is the first book in a two part series.

Editorial Reviews

This coming-of-age adventure story mesmerizes the reader on multiple levels. The story has a
melodic rhythm for its unfolding. The author also takes his time to paint the atmosphere and the
characters' inner states and have the reader inhale these two worlds... After peering into the magical realms,
lively slums, and cheerful settlements outlined by the author, resisting the call of adventure
becomes futile.
