Book Description:
Discover #1 bestselling novel, Evan Burl and the Falling

My father abandoned me when I was an infant.
My friends have turned against me.
My uncle beats me.
The most powerful people in the world want me dead.
They all have one thing in common.
They think I’m turning into a monster.

I’m starting to worry they’re right.

An excerpt from Evan Burl and the Falling

I found myself in a kingdom of stars and clouds. Endless. Deadly. And blue as blood. Stretching from one side of the world to the other without blemish, perfect but for a single black speck.

If anyone was watching, they might have wondered whether I was merely napping on a pillow of thin air.

But it was far worse than that. This was a Falling.

For what felt like hours, the whole world seemed frozen below me. Except for the wind, everything was silent. I felt as if I could stay up there as long as I like. It was beautiful really, whenever I managed for a few moments together to ignore the fact that I would soon be smashing into the ground at about 214 miles-per-hour.

I didn't really even feel sick to my stomach. Until the last thirty seconds.

First, the rolling mountains and hills, which I'd always thought so solid and unshakable, were now sauntering up towards me as if they were great bullies begging for a fight with anyone who defied their gravity.

Then houses and barns began popping out of the ground everywhere, like grasping hands from a fresh grave. Pulling me down into the earth where I belong.

Ten seconds later, what I thought was a bit of lint stuck to my eyelash transformed into a living human. Before I knew it, there were more. Dozens, even hundreds of people. Working, eating, doing whatever people did when they weren't looking up and noticing me plummeting through the sky directly towards them.

Far too soon, another ten seconds had passed and the whole world was rushing up at a speed that would turn even the stoutest stomachs to acid.

But it was the last hundred feet that really tested what I was made of.

Part of me was happy I'd made it so long without losing consciousness, but I realized in those last few moments I was far less brave than I gave myself credit for.

Right before the end, I closed my eyes.

Because no one can watch a Falling.
