Candlelight

For over a thousand years, nightfall has meant death. But stories tell of a time when this was not the case, when the Moon gave life instead of taking it. In the quiet after dusk, legends sprawl through the empty streets. Glimpses of truth are revealed to those willing to open their eyes - few of those around these days. Iris, a young scholar-to-be, has dreamt of the unseen. But to unearth the secrets of the world, she must first chart the depths of her own mind.
Alongside her mysterious mentor and a remarkable child, she ventures forth into the unknown, hoping to find the strength to deliver humanity from its fate. Matthew Stoker debuts his fantasy novel, a story of life, death, and everything in between.
