    About this ebook

    Rivenlann is a world that has known only darkness and the thousand gentle stars in the night sky. The advanced Aarpions live on one landmass and dominate the primitive Towahs who reside across the sea on the other.

    An ancient prophesy of the Towahs called the Day of Reversal they believe is expected soon, though the Aarpions dismiss it. According to the prophesy, a bright god will suddenly appear in the sky and never leave, bringing cataclysmic changes in the relationship between the two cultures. Readers experience the fallout of the event through the eyes of Aarpion scientists, their political leader, and the Towahs. One side sees the bright star and the end of night as an answer to their prayers while the other believes it heralds the death of their culture. The Aarpions ask themselves how to survive under the new reality while the Towahs' behavior suggests intrinsic changes have occurred in their traditional thinking.

    "Daybreak" explores the human's psyche's ability to cope with calamitous changes in the world and the effort to find a way to survive in a completely different environment.

    This work is about 9,000 words in length. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

    Stephen Leary holds a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Akron and a Master's degree in Library Science from Kent State University. He lives in the Washington DC Metro Area and works in the defense industry.
