"I kept the early watch as Eoran slept almost silent, upwind of the fire. Watching him in his otherworld it seems absurd that either of us could have thought this would end well. He’s no more an Elder than me and curled up like that he could be mistaken for a child, no lines of age or marks of wisdom and barely a scar from all his adventures. Looking down at my hands in the flickering light I imagine using them to protect us from something bad, something unknown. They seem to clench without my help, but I’m not convinced. Too soft; too new."
Set in a place that may be familiar to many, in a time that could be now, but within a culture untouched by civilisation, Almost Gone follows the search for a threat to the world in which three young people live. As Caeleb, Merod and Eoran’s journeys weave across the rich and sometimes dangerous landscape they start to understand the true nature of the change that is happening to the world in which they live, to themselves, and to their relationships with each other, and the sacrifices they will have to make to keep any one of these intact. Above all it is a book about the need for connection in a changing world.
Almost Gone is the first book of the Conorol Trilogy.
