In an alternate version of 1901 Los Angeles sixteen-year-old Noli Braddock's hoyden ways land her in an abusive reform school far from home. On mid-summer's eve she wishes to be anyplace but that dreadful school. A mysterious man from the Realm of Faerie brings her to the Otherworld, only to reveal that she must be sacrificed to restore his dying world. Her best friend, V, who has secrets of his own, appears to help Noli escape and return to the mortal realm. If they are successful, Noli will live, but if she does the entire Otherworld civilization will perish.
Early praise for INNOCENT DARKNESS:
"A delicious mix of alternate history, Steampunk, fantastical adventure and
blushing romance; what on Earth (or the Otherworld) is there not to love?" -
Leanna Renee Hieber, award winning, bestselling author of Darker Still: A Novel of
Magic Most Foul
"Guys. Guys. This book? You need it in your life." - Julie, Bloggers [Heart] Books
"Never bargain with a Fairie queen. It’s the lesson Noli and her friend V learn
the hard way in Suzanne Lazear’s debut novel, Innocent Darkness. A beautifully
depicted glimpse into an alternate world where faery trees grant wishes but
love is the strongest magic of all." -- Jeanne Stein, author, The Anna Strong
Chronicles
Book two of The Aether Chronicles will be out in 2013.
