ABOUT THE BOOK
Merel lives on a futuristic island, a sanctuary built amidst a vast sea. Generations ago, her community weathered devastating floods and scorching heat, forever shaping their world into one of perpetual twilight.
Their lives are governed by ancient traditions, “the truth,” born from the necessity to control their population. These traditions are harsh, demanding sacrifice. But as Merel navigates this carefully constructed society, the reader begins to understand that this world may be set in a future version of New Zealand.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A. M. Dixon is a Christchurch-based writer. Her short stories and flash fiction have appeared in journals and anthologies in New Zealand and overseas. She holds a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Auckland, and is a graduate of Hagley Writers’ Institute.
She likes to write first thing in the morning and will often start her day by writing a piece of flash fiction or poetry, before moving on to her current work in progress. She is inspired by the outdoors and loves watching the sun rise. An avid reader she especially enjoys work by other Aotearoa New Zealand authors.
