The Ever-Dark is a new adult literary fantasy about belonging, consequence, and the cost of changing your fate.

"Follow the stars... because they will light the way wherever you go."

Violet Evans has never belonged—not in her village, not with her family, and not in a world that seems determined to snub her. When she stumbles into a hidden magical realm, the isolation finally lifts. For the first time, she feels wanted. Understood. At home.

But one mistake changes everything.

When Violet accidentally severs the portal between worlds, she traps herself in a land cursed by the ever-dark: a sky frozen in endless purple twilight, where the sun never rises and a deeper cold lurks beneath the surface.

Joined by Kazuki, a loyal pedicab driver who seems to sense her every emotion, the steadfast Ruth and Goosey, and Allen—the man who makes her heart move for the first time—Violet embarks on a journey to fix the horizon. But restoring the portal means facing a brutal truth. If she succeeds in reopening the door to her old life, what will be there to welcome her?

The debut installment of The Indirettan Chronicles, The Ever-Dark is a haunting, literal fantasy about the weight of consequence and the courage required to choose where you belong.
