Everdark: The Metacosm Chronicles: Book One
“If I stay … I’ll kill them all.”
Sixteen year old Redd is a runaway with psionic powers and PTSD.
While escaping the parents who experimented on her, Redd unwittingly opens a portal to a planet populated by the last remnant of the angelic species. Trouble follows. With nowhere else to go, she is caught up in an intergalactic the militant, space-faring Rangers and their allies must prevent the fortress Everdark, the angels' last bastion, from being overrun by evil forces.
The abuse Redd survived takes its toll in the form of nightmares, mood swings, and paranoia — but there is comfort in combat, so she joins the front line. There, she discovers that she can wield terrible power at the behest of a mysterious entity residing somewhere within her, though the transaction is not in her favor. Clinging to an often nebulous connection to shared reality, she becomes inextricably involved with more than just the battle to protect the angels.
The events of Everdark are the key to a mechanism that, with Redd and her companions as integral gears, will start a countdown. And at zero … a shift in the core of the metacosm, one written into its very code before Time began.
***
Everdark is book one in the Metacosm Chronicles, a science fantasy universe decades in the making between its two authors, N. and A. Soleil.

Looking for something fresh in the sci-fi/fantasy realm? This has just about everything from spaceships, to portals, to angels, elves, orcs, and everything in between. There's a mix of elements you may already know and love, and plenty of new ideas/concepts to go around. N.A. Soleil's writing style is elegant and lends an ease to your reading – they never lean too hard into unnecessary grandiloquence which is often a gripe I have with fantasy novels. The 400 pages flits by fast as you read about Redd's adventures both to and within Everdark.
This novel is good to read, and the quality of the printing is nice. The satin matte cover feels really nice to hold in your hand, which makes it a lovely tactile experience as well. Fonts are not too big/too small or overbearing, and when fonts do change, they help to engage the reader by accenting what they're reading. Pages are printed on an off-white, thick stock which makes it difficult to skip any pages – definitely a plus!
Oh, and don't forget to check out the helpful glossary at the back in case you get stuck!
