The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight Now Available!

Dear Readers,

It's the book birthday for The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight!

The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight by Jendia Gammon, writing as J. Dianne Dotson, is the adult prequel to the Nebula and BSFA Award finalist YA book, The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern and its sequel, BSFA Award finalist The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel. This is the third book of a trilogy.

The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight is a prequel starting in our present, spanning centuries, with the characters facing the end of the world, their many dramas, and how they built hope from despair, for the future.

Andraste, Bendin, Doc Bozzard, and yes, the infamous Skaarden make appearances here. As told in The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern, Night Living came about after a series of calamities over centuries, not just climate disaster. Many events took place during that time gap.

You’ll learn how this group and their friends and associates (and competitors!) ebbed, flowed, fought, and loved from The Golden Hour (just before everything ends as we know it) to The Dawn of Dusk eras, and into the twilight and full Night Living of the future.

This is a heartfelt tale of the adults who shaped Gen Lightworth and the Fireflies’ futures, with their own rich and complicated histories. How did they each use their unique strengths and weaknesses to build the Lunarpunk utopia of Lantern…or threaten its future?

It's bittersweet to say goodbye to the shimmering, Lunarpunk world I've made, but I'm just so grateful for Android Press believing in my words and giving them a home!
