Night Swiftly Falling

The Star of Atlantis

By: Tricia D. Wagner

Narrated by: Andrew J. Chamberlain

Facing the sea winds, the storm waves of change–how might a boy weather loss without losing himself?

Sea legends and pirate adventures charm eight-year-old Swift, until an encounter with the deadly power of the ocean shocks him into reality. Swift struggles to hang onto his childhood fantasies, but his new grasp of the fragile nature of life and of friendship threatens to swamp his hope. Under the guidance of his older brother, Swift must learn to brave the rough waters of change without losing himself to their destruction.

Critic reviews

"Night Swiftly Falling is one of the most clever, contemplative books I’ve read all summer. In addition to a tightly woven plot, the author demonstrates a masterful command of the language in every paragraph that’ll keep you turning pages until the end. Propelled by delicious prose, Night Swiftly Falling is poignant and heartfelt. This beautifully written novelette, honest and hopeful all at the same time, packs a punch. An exceptional achievement."—Kristine L., Reviewer, Reedsy Discovery
