Imogen Wise, a daring teenager, teeters on the precipice of adventure. Leaving behind the cosy confines of home, she embarks on a solo journey-a leap into the unknown. Meanwhile, her younger sister, Tilly, remains ensnared by the ordinary: friends, zoo animals, and the mundane rhythms of life.
But secrets fester beneath the surface. On their parents' anniversary, Imogen stumbles upon a revelation that shatters her world: her mother's affair with her own uncle. Loyalties fracture, and chaos descends upon the family. Each member hurtles down divergent paths, their destinies irrevocably altered.
Then, catastrophe strikes-a cataclysm that plunges the northern hemisphere into darkness. The sun retreats, civilization crumbles, and humanity grapples with primal fear. As the world unravels, Imogen and her companions traverse a desolate landscape, confronting terror and uncertainty at every turn.
In this dystopian saga, resilience becomes paramount. Imogen, Tilly, and a cast of unforgettable characters must forge new alliances, rediscover lost strengths, and navigate the treacherous terrain of a transformed Earth. Amidst the ruins, they seek not only survival but also purpose-a place where hope flickers like a distant star against the blackened sky.
Elizabeth Wixley was born in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom but has moved many times during her childhood. She attended the Camberwell Art School and joined a design studio in Convent Garden. Moving to Bristol, some years later, she worked full time for the Local Education Authority supporting children suffering from emotional and behavioural difficulties, whilst ensuring that the transition into a mainstream school was done in a supportive and nurturing manner. Whilst providing children with a safe haven for learning, she raised two sons as a single parent while studying for a degree in education at the University of the West of England.
Her love of fiction started at the age of six when Elizabeth's grandmother died of cancer and to ensure that the rest of the family was safe, she would spend the nights roaming the house looking for the 'C' monster to make sure that he did not claim any more victims.
One sunny bright day, her sister told her that fork lightning would come and strike her down after which she would spend her days hiding in the garage and when she heard that the sun was falling out of the sky, well needless to say, she very seldom ventured out.
With trial and error, Elizabeth soon realized to fight her foes, she had to stare them straight in the eye, explore them and conqueror the inner demons in order to stand righteous. This helps fuel her love of horror and the many mysteries of the world. Creating a why and what if scenario that runs prominent in her fascinating fiction.
Throughout Elizabeth's life, creative arts have been her passion whether it is visiting galleries, painting or writing. She enjoys nothing more than sharing a compelling horror story with others and holding the sanity of her readers in the palm of her hand.
