Description

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em></strong></p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

&quot;This is a book about a group of teenagers, written by a young author. Despite his tender age, Dawson writes in a refreshing punchy style. It is slightly reminiscent of a James Bond adventure, but with it being targeted at young adults, there is a unique perspective on the story. <p>Despite it being aimed at a much younger audience, I found the book an enjoyable read. Dawson enters the world of his imagination, meeting people that are familiar to him from his `real life'. He and his fellow agents have to overcome another organisation that is set on world domination, and they are not as concerning regarding non-violence as the BLUE agency. There is one major objective throughout the story, but plenty of problems along the way that Josiah and his fellow agents need to overcome. Some of these are completed successfully; others don't go quite as planned. </p><p>There is good interplay between the main characters, and as the story progresses their relationships develop from acquaintances into good friendships with strong ties for each other. The story is fast paced, giving the reader little time to pause, I found it a real page turner. Each chapter leaves you wanting to find out what happens next. I found the book drew me in so much that I read it in one sitting.&quot; --Kopek Review</p>
