The Change #4
Traitor
The greatly anticipated final book in the Change series. In a world of mutant powers and deadly creatures, one small town faces its worst nightmare...
In a single shocking night, Las Anclas is conquered. Voske rules the town, remaking it in his image. He brings Opportunity Day to Las Anclas, with its terrifying lottery of "Change or die." He forces Paco into the role of his son and prince, always watching him for signs of rebellion. And for those who escaped his net, he sends elite Changed soldiers to drag them back to be executed.
Inside Las Anclas, Paco and Becky play a nerve-shattering game of cat and mouse, plotting a resistance under Voske's eye. Outside the walls, Ross, Mia, Jennie, and Kerry desperately evade pursuit and try to free their town. And at last, Felicité must face the choice she's given up everything to avoid.
In the darkness of defeat, can hope catch fire?

October 8, 2024This is the final book in the series, and it took a while to write, due largely to a series of disasters, some of them apocalyptic, that happened to my co-writer. But at last it's done!
We had a ton of fun writing it--so much that it turned out super long. After all we did have to bring to resolutions six main POVs from earlier books, and also that of of the little town of Las Anclas, imagined in the far future of the north side of Westchester, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, built along the palisades looking down over Marina del Rey. The crystal forest surrounds what was once downtown LA.
We finally ended up cutting 25,000 words out of the first draft, and it's still long, but I hope it reads tighter. And exciting, as Las Anclas is conquered...and its citizens have to survive. And our main characters, all teens, grow up in the process.

Contains: kisses, fighting, maybe two uses of mild language
What a way to end the series! This was exciting. So much was going on!
