[COMPLETED] On the seemingly endless cliff face of the Dawnwall, one wrong step means a long fall and a slow death. In a place where airships fill the sky and cities rest in alcoves of stone, a fear of heights is an embarrassing affliction, not that Aelyn Ellis will ever admit it. At fifteen years old the young shepherd is perfectly content spending his life buried in books, studying swashbuckling adventure from the comfort of a wool-cushioned chair. Unfortunately, as it is said on the Dawnwall, no one is above that which lies below. It is a cold and windless morning when Aelyn's non-paternal grandfather dies in an accident at the town's pier. Without a will, Aelyn loses everything: his home, his flock, and his library. Aelyn is left with only the clothes on his back and a single book in his pocket, a book that holds a dangerous secret. Burdened with the knowledge of a treasure unlike any other, Aelyn makes the choice to face his fear, setting forth on a voyage across the high-skies. Pursued by bloodthirsty sky pirates and haunted by ghostly apparitions, Aelyn must band together with a crew of privateers to unlock the secret of a fortune so valuable it could change the future... and the past.

Dear Reader, A POCKET GUIDE TO HAVEN is a fictional booklet created from material that was culled from an early draft of my novel BECOMING DARKNESS and from notes I worked up while developing the book. There were thoughts of perhaps presenting it as an appendix to the novel, but length prevented this, and so I present it here, for those who may seek a little more information on the world in which the novel is set. The guide is written to reflect the rather staid academic bearing of its fictional writers, and to mirror the type of language one might find in a typical guidebook that seeks to edify rather than entertain. BECOMING DARKNESS is an alternate history YA novel, set in the early part of the twenty-first century, in a world where history took a decidedly different path during World War Two. It is published by Switch Press and was released on October 1st, 2015. The book can be found in bookstores and purchased from on line retailers around the world.
