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>

<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">&quot;...a brilliant and stunningly original work, by far the best novel I read in 2008.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.alternativereel.com/includes/cult-fiction/display_review.php?id=00067" style="color:#666600;">Alternative Reel</a> <br /><br />&quot;as authentic as they come, experimental without trying to be intentionally obscure, dark without making you doubt humanity, smart and energetic. In short, it’s great writing.&quot; <br />&quot;...it’s about obsession, self-negation, love, even God (“The Everything”), making Broken Bulbs an entirely unique take on a subject. It’s a science fictional, hard-boiled, poetic vision of drug addiction and hamsters (read it!) A great addition to a genre that has never existed before.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/2009/02/01/broken-bulbs-by-eddie-wright/" style="color:#666600;">Self-publishing Review</a> <br /><br />&quot;...this slim volume is the bastard child of Memento and William S Burroughs, absolutely not for the faint of heart nor for anyone seeking a nice, simple beach read.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.cclapcenter.com/2009/03/book_review_broken_bulbs_by_ed.html" style="color:#666600;">Jason Pettus, The Chicago Center for for Literature and Photography</a> <br /><br />&quot;An existentialist’s dream, the author has dug in deep and laid bare the raw emotion so candidly that we can actually feel the futility, the desperation, and the humour.&quot; <br /><br />&quot;Philip Dick would be proud.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://podpeep.blogspot.com/2009/01/review-broken-bulbs.html" style="color:#666600;">POD People</a> </span><div><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">&quot;...the absolute perfect spot-on portrait of the mind of an addict.&quot; <br />&quot;The first chapter alone is a nauseating churn of short choppy staccato sentences, random thoughts and actions, that read like beat poetry at a slam.&quot; <br />&quot;The whole thing is filled with crazy quips and one liners worthy of a high lighter so you can memorize and use them later.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://llbookreview.com/2008/09/review-34-broken-bulbs-by-eddie-wright/" style="color:#666600;">The LL Book Review</a> <br /><br />&quot;...strangely complex and fascinating.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8va2F5ZXRyb3V0LmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8yMDA4LzA1L2Jyb2tlbi1idWxicy1ieS1lZGRpZS13cmlnaHQuaHRtbA==" style="color:#666600;">Kaye Trout's Book Reviews</a><br /></span></span></div>
