The final book of the Amethyst Lantern trilogy, The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight, is now available!
From Nebula and three-time BSFA finalist author Jendia Gammon, writing as J. Dianne Dotson, The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight is an adult prequel to the acclaimed young adult books, The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern and The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel.
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?
Start the Lunarpunk adventure with The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern and continue with its sequel, The Secret of the Sapphire Sentinel! Or buy the complete trilogy directly from Android Press!
“THE DAWN OF DUSK AND TWILIGHT weaves magic and mystery in a gorgeous fantasy world! J.Dianne Dotson’s narrative sorcery is a true delight!”
– Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Ghosts of the Void and Bewilderness
“The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight, despite being a prequel, feels like a natural progression for this series – a sort of growing-up, as readers graduate from the youthful struggles of the Amethyst Lantern‘s heroes to the unique love and heartbreak of an older cast. For fans of all ages, it’s a satisfying read, bringing the history of Dotson’s lunarpunk world into focus and adding invaluable context to the lives of Andraste and her loved ones.”
– Kara Dennison, author and co-founder of Altrix Books
“In The Dawn of Dusk and Twilight, J. Dianne Dotson presents us with that rarest of treasures: a prequel every bit as immersive, gripping, and beguiling as the original. This is a symphony of world-building and characterisation from an author with a deft touch for weaving science, magic and emotion into a deeply satisfying whole.”
– Gareth L. Powell, BSFA Award-winning author of Jitterbug
