The Now Before

By Alexander Lydiate

"They're not people, exactly....they have a power. They call it thoughtcraft. And with this power, Eliza, they can get inside heads. They can take control."

In a future reshaped by the melting ice caps, eleven-year-old Eliza wakes to a world of mermaids and pirates.

The daring adventure that awaits Eliza will change this world forever.

Along the way she will meet Magnus, a young street magician, and Cassidy, a recluse with a mysterious connection to the mermaids, and Blythe, the formidable captain of the pirate ship, The Heartbreak. Together, they embark on a journey to confront Bartomew Spinks, the narcissistic and tyrannical Administrator of the West.

Readers of all ages are invited to join Eliza on a journey of self-discovery in which her every decision holds the power to shape the future.
