Nevermore

Book excerpt: From the nationally award winning playwright, 2013 VSA Playwright Competition, The Kennedy Center, Washington DC. When Raven’s world comes crashing down around her and her thoughts turn to suicide, this is exactly what she does. As she swings the last swing of her life, she jumps off, sprouts wings, and flies away to another world where she finds a group of teenagers just her age who accept her into their lives. Led by Crow, the group goes on a quest to lift a curse put on Crow by two witches, hell-bent on killing him, destroying the kingdom, and bringing forth the necromancer known only as the Sorcerer. But as Raven delves deeper into the new world, she discovers a land full of darkness, a world that parallels the one that she left. And when all is said and done, it is she who will have to stand before the Sorcerer and confront him as the fierce defender she never knew she could be.
