ALMOST NIGHT by Emily White Release Date: May 5, 2013 Paperback, 303 pages Genre: YA / Fantasy / Fiction
Fourteen-year- old Lilly Grey exists in two worlds at the same time. She just doesn't know it.
As the only albino in a million mile radius, Lilly is used to being different. Pink eyes and white hair aren't exactly the best camouflage in the harrowing jungles formally known as high school. And yeah, she's used to being an outcast and seeing the world in a slightly different way, but she never guessed how literally "different" applied to her.
Not until a clan of shape-shifting dragons tell her
she's not just albino. She's a unicorn and the only
mortal alive who can live on both Earth and its antithesis, Morcah. Now all those times she thought
she saw a floating brown blotch in the sky or eyes
peering out at her from the bark of trees make
sense. She's been seeing Morcah, a land that exists
in the exact same spot as Earth, just in a different
phase.
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for this unicorn. As the only one who can live in both phases,
she's also the only one who can bring Morcah--and all its inhabitants--to Earth. And creatures who've
been trapped on Earth since the Dark Ages are willing to do worse things than kill to make that
happen.
Again.

Emily White is a nerd.
She prefers her men fully clothed and donning bow-ties, her commas British, her books cheesy with big, overly-dramatic explosions, her characters awkward and endearingly real,* and watching her movies in authentic turn-of-the-century theaters. When not exposing her nerdy self to the world, she' s creating her own friends and putting them in horrible, yet sometimes humorous situations.Check out her YA Space Opera series starting with Elemental (Spencer Hill Press, 2012), continuing with FAE (February 2014), and ending sometime in the near future with a book she has yet to write. She's also authored a collection of Steampunk (zombie, werebot romance) flash fiction, if you're into those kinds of things, titled "To Love or Die in a Steamy-Reamy World."
