Announcing: The Lost Scribes & Falls the Shadow

Submitted by Mary on Wed, 05/04/2011 - 17:18

Coming to The Lost Scribes Blog May 15, 2011: Falls the Shadow. The first Christian Steampunk novel of its kind, by authors H.A. Titus, Elynn W. Marshe, and Mary Ruth Pursselley.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Imagine a world where technology has replaced the need for traditional education... even the need to read. Imagine entire sectors of cities being abandoned as rapid technological advances render them obsolete. Imagine libraries falling into disrepair and decay, the books inside moldering away, ignored until they are forgotten...

until an experiment, using computer viruses as weapons of war, goes tragically wrong.

Welcome to Shandor Rei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amid the wreckage of a swift and devastating war, life goes on--as a fight for survival. Poverty, starvation, violence, and oppression haunt the streets and the broken people who live there. One chance for recovery and freedom remains: thousands of books, buried deep beneath the rubble in the ruins of a bombed library.  

A teenage boy named Skylar dreams of finding lost books and learning to read, but has his doubts about whether they could still exist after so much destruction.
Maricossa, an agent of The White Tiger, has been ordered by the oppressive government to find and destroy any books that may have survived the bombings.
Libretto con Brio, a spunky teenage girl, has dedicated her life to making sure no one finds the books she protects--ever.

When circumstances bring the three of them together, a battle of ultimatums, loyalty, deception, and trust begins. No secret is safe. No outcome is certain.
No motive is clear, for "between the motion and the act... between the emotion and the response...
Falls the Shadow."

I love your 'faints' reaction! I share the sentiment.

I heard about it because... well, I'm one of the creators! : D I'm the 'Mary' in 'Mary Ruth Pursselley'. Heather and LoriAnn, both from here on AP, are the other two authors. We've just launched this project and thought it would be a good idea to announce it here at our dearly beloved AP. Hope you enjoy!

Brother: Your character should drive a motorcycle.
Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
