In a way, I wrote Elaria book two before book one. I had just finished expanding a short story into a whole book that would become the basis for the Elaria series. At that time, the events in The Dawn of Darkness did not exist, but those of Red Sky did—in the form of frequent flashbacks and references. When I redeveloped the story into its current series, the events and character development in Red Sky became immediate rather than historical. Coincidentally, this wobbly timeline suits the book quite well. The story was born in a period of change and uncertainty much like the one the characters experience on the page.
If Ewan were to name a fact of life more certain than death and taxes, it would be that things can always get worse.
An idyllic life cut short.
An unwanted burden.
A world set ablaze.
And an unavoidable obstacle compounding everything.
An exciting new phase of Ewan’s life has dawned, and he takes it in stride. But bad weather is inbound. It is hard to know where to place one’s feet when everything is in flux, and everyone is pulling in different directions. Now, Ewan and his friends—old and new—must journey through a no man’s land that is both personal and literal, where lines are blurry, stakes are high, and not everyone comes back.
