OverviewDark Fantasy as you've never seen it before! In a world steeped in shadow and forever on the brink of night, the ever-setting sun casts its eerie half-light across a city where the dead are raised to serve the living. Recently arrived at this twilight city, the paddle steamer 'Queen of the South' has been missing for a hundred years with no explanation as to its disappearance. Six strangers drawn together by fate and prophecy and ritual murder must unravel the mystery of the ship and the witch who travelled upon it. Along the way, they uncover a sinister plot that threatens their world, and it's unclear to them whether they're working to save the world, or destroy it. Under an Ever-Setting Sun is an action-packed adventure with high stakes and epic plot twists in a richly-detailed fantasy setting quite unlike anything you've read before. Vividly drawn characters leap off the page as they contend with devils and witches and pirates, while navigating a world filled with the risen dead.

Highly recommend for fantasy readers seeking something genuinely new! As someone who thought they'd seen every iteration of the zombie trope, Under an Ever-Setting Sun genuinely surprised and delighted me. The exploration of the undead as a normalised part of society was truly unique to me, and I found it fascinating. I also absolutely loved the mood of the viridian-lit swamp city and its many mysterious inhabitants.""
