Darkness Shall Light the Way…
Power has a price. As Manhattan’s most sought-after confidante, Zoë Hall knows this better than anyone. But when a preternatural force begins hunting her through her dreams, she discovers her mother’s death twenty years ago was just the beginning, and that some legacies are written in blood.
Part psychological thriller, part surrealistic fantasy, The Leveling explores consciousness and reality, grief and loss, and fearlessly delves into the existential. Pulled between present-day Manhattan and the forested realms of her dreams, Zoë finds herself wedged between the very pillars of light and dark as she comes face-to-face with the most formidable force she’s ever encountered: her own mind.
What Readers Are Saying
“Such a great read- I could not put this book down! It is an amazing adventure for the reader and Evans expertly blurs the line between the main character’s dream world and her real world so much so that it is hard to tell where dreams end and reality begins! Get this book!!”
“The writing was magnificent. A visceral and mind/spirit experience I didn’t want to end. Destined to become a cult classic. More, please from this author Shannon Denise Evans.”
“The Leveling is impeccably crafted and takes the reader on a journey of mind, body and spirit. Provocative, sexy, challenging, funny, thoughtful; this book is everything I want out of a read. Lovers of fantasy, hero quests, strong female protagonists will love this book. I can’t wait for Book 2 in the series!”
“Loved this novel. Brilliant world-building and engaging premise. Very creative plot. The writing is stunning and the story stayed with me long after being read. Highly recommend for those who enjoy an immersive and saturating story.”
“You never really know where reality ends and dreams begin. This is a wild and often spicy read of a young lady finding her way between Manhattan and her provocative dreams.”
“A thriller that activates Consciousness and questions the limitations of the western mind. This wild read was anything but woo in its New York edginess, and the experience delivers beyond fluffy new age. Yet it’s the witchy stuff light warriors long for. The blur between ‘dream’ and ‘real’ was nothing less than masterful alchemy in itself.”
