Never (Prequel to The Amber Isle)

by Ashley Capes

Overview

A nameless rogue. A priceless treasure map. An abundance of bad choices.

The rogue Never wants two things—his blood curse lifted and to know his true name. He’s hunted down every relic and clue only to end up empty-handed. Until he hears of a treasure map to a sunken city full of potential answers.

Getting his hands on the map might prove to be Never’s most dangerous heist yet. When the city is invaded in the middle of his caper, Never trades stealth for brute force to save the map before it burns along with the city.

But his violence has consequences. As he makes an enemy of the invading commander, can Never survive long enough to secure the map as well as his getaway, or will he go down in flames?

Never: Prequel to The Amber Isle is the thrilling prequel novella to the epic fantasy series The Book of Never. If you love charming rogues, daring heists, and epic quests, steal a glance at Never: Prequel to The Amber Isle!

About the Author

Hi, I'm Ashley, an Australian poet, novelist and ex-teacher.

I've been writing since before my teen years (as so many writers have) and started publishing in 2008, mostly in the poetry world. To date I've had six poetry collections published and released seven novels and novellas. When I'm not flat out writing, I tend to teach, usually Music Production, Media Studies and English. Teaching is a tough gig but it's meant to be - learning is a deeply complex process.

Before teaching, I did a few other things - I played in a metal band, worked in an art gallery and slaved away at music retail. Aside from reading and writing, I love volleyball and Studio Ghibli – and Magnum PI, easily one of the greatest television shows ever made. I've also been enjoying Cowboy Bebop quite a lot.

My first novel was an epic fantasy/adventure title called City of Masks, released by Snapping Turtle Books in 2014. We followed it with the second part of the trilogy, The Lost Mask the year after. The conclusion - Greatmask is forthcoming in 2016.

In between I also released shorter novels The Fairy Wren, A Whisper of Leaves, Crossings and the beginning of 'The Book of Never' series, The Amber Isle.
