Synopsis

Evelyn E. Smith's "The Blue Tower" represents a masterful blend of speculative fiction and psychological depth, set against the backdrop of a dystopian society characterized by isolation and existential dread. The novel employs a vivid yet stark literary style, interspersing poignant dialogues with rich imagery that enhances its themes of alienation and the search for meaning amid chaos. In a narrative that evokes the works of both George Orwell and Ray Bradbury, Smith captivates readers with her exploration of the human condition as seen through the experiences of characters navigating a crumbling civilization defined by oppressive structures and lost hopes. Evelyn E. Smith, an accomplished author and playwright known for her keen insight into human psychology, draws upon her own experiences of societal anxiety and alienation to craft a narrative that resonates deeply with contemporary issues. Her rich literary career serves as a testament to her ability to weave complex characters and social commentaries into engaging stories that challenge conventions and provoke thought. This insightful background informs the depth and nuance present in "The Blue Tower," inviting readers to ponder the fragility of hope in a bleak world. Smith's "The Blue Tower" is a compelling read for those who appreciate thought-provoking literature that interrogates the fabric of society and individual existence. With its blend of striking imagery and profound themes, this novel invites readers into a richly imagined world that serves as a mirror for our own. Ideal for fans of dystopian fiction and psychological explorations alike, this book will leave readers reflecting on its implications long after they turn the final page.

    The once-wondrous land of Myn-Dhiel has suffered under the rule of the House of Memizhon. The decadent king and queen are slowly going insane, and the kingdom seems likely to sink under the weight of its decay. 
     
    Twins Lai and Laili have spent their quiet lives as initiates of the Goddess on the peaceful island of Ael Lahi. But when they are captured and sold as slaves in the city, Lai must learn to fight for his life in the Arena while Laili is forced into service as the Arkhan’s concubine. 
     
    The twins ultimately find their place in the intrigues and rivalries of the corrupt court. But discontent is simmering among the city’s oppressed people. When a mysterious cloud of moon moths brings a plague, revolution threatens to bring down the House of Memizhon. Lai and Laili may hold the key to saving the city—unless they too are engulfed in the conflagration.

Sometimes that advice should be heeded.Henry Sleep’s childhood memories of Saul’s Run are dark and jumbled images that terrify and confuse him in his all-too-frequent nightmares. When his mother’s horrible death and a bitter falling-out with his preacher father drove Henry from his West Virginia hometown almost ten years earlier, he knew he could never look back. But now the reverend Quincy Sleep is also dead, shockingly by his own hand, and the prodigal son must return to the tiny mining town where all of his most terrible secrets dwell. And he will not be welcomed back with open arms. Not by Sheriff Harold Crawford, who hides a taste for dark things behind his lawman facade. Not by Emily, the girlfriend Henry left behind, now shackled to a dying mother. Not by his one-time best friend, Perry Holland, who feels nothing for him now but a raging, inexplicable hatred. But if Henry hopes ever to sleep again, he will stay in Saul’s Run until he solves the mystery of his father’s death . . . and forces himself to remember what he and Perry found stirring in the hills outside of town many years ago.
