According to Ellie, the middle child of two overseas ambassadors, a magical monster named Oblivion kidnapped her elder brother. She believes Oblivion wants to use her brother as a backup memory, a backup hard drive. She encounters Overmorrow - a magical rain that wakes up normal New Yorkers unto the wonder all around them. Once she receives Overmorrow and its "seer's sight," she discovers someone has stolen the source of the rain. Convinced Oblivion has also stolen the rains, she decides to use the mystery of Overmorrow to lead her back to her elder brother and save his mind from Oblivion. As Ellie fails over and over again, it becomes terribly apparent to her that this rain thief wants to obliviate monsters from the memories of New Yorkers and everyone else in the megacosm. And if we forget the monsters, they're free to eat us all. _________ PRAISE FOR LANCE'S FANTASY: "Lancelot Schaubert is an entertaining and intelligent writer with a flair for world-building. His work is full of good surprises." - Juliet Marillier, Aurelius award winning author of the Blackthorn & Grim and Warrior Bards series "Schaubert is a powerful fantasist, a multi-layered thinker and a pure craftsperson with words. This is a writer who will make waves, break boundaries and be heard." - Kaaron Warren, Aurelius + Stoker award-winning author and Guest of Honor at the World Fantasy Convention "Schaubert's complex stories weave together sly humor, subtle satire, and heightened language to push fantasy into unexpected places: sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes perplexing, but always intriguing." -LJ Cohen, author of Derelict PRAISE FOR BELL HAMMERS: "BELL HAMMERS is a hoot." - Publisher's Weekly "Schaubert's words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say, 'Listen, this is important!' Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot's subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention." - Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl "Loved BELL HAMMERS because Lancelot wrote about people who don't get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart." - Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review
