ASHES OF TWILIGHT by Kassy TaylerSYNOPSIS:
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.
Besides the beautiful cover art, I am interested in this book from that stunning premise. I am looking forward to exploring the future post-apocalyptic world and getting to know Wren. It sounds very "City of Ember", but I am hoping for something original.
