What would you do if you knew the world would end next week? Solstice is a fantastic novel set in the present day, except that behind the busy scenes, individuals known as Scribes have a gift that makes whatever they write come true. A group of Editors, operating beyond the law, ruthlessly watch over the scribes. Io is most skilled Editor of all, yet she must face her greatest test when an inexplicable message forecasting the world's end with its next solstice appears all over the globe, spreading confusion, fear, mass murder, and riots. Io tracks the message to its source, a Scribe named Nadie, yet as her nightmare scenario unfolds the unleashed catastrophes themselves contain a hidden secret. Is it Nadie's plan to write the extinction of humanity, or is there another hidden motive? And could there be a link between Nadie and Io's past? A riveting, original saga.
