The Legend of the Blue Boy
The Promise
by
Kayla Phair
The Earth, scorched and tarnished, can no longer sustain life. Geodesic domes protect food plants and produce desperately needed oxygen, while children don breathing tanks for the ride to school. Archer Larson, a bitter, lonely teenager with the legacy of unethical experiments implanted in his body, finds himself drawn from his antisocial funk when a new student joins his class. Something is familiar about her. Why does he feel they’ve met before? Trying to forget the déjà vu slowly overtaking him—as old prophecies of ruin start to sound like memories and the names of people he’s never met start ringing bells—Archer sets aside his disinterest in his classmates. He makes a couple of new friends and reconnects with an old one. But eventually, he realizes what he has to do and disappears back into the most dangerous moment in all of time: the apocalypse. After all, he knows now that if he doesn’t go, the people he’s coming to care about will never be born. It will be a struggle to survive—if he survives at all. But the young man with the bruised and traumatized heart has something to care about now. Meanwhile, left behind in their own time, Archer’s new and old friends try to get to grips with the strange things going on in their school, and face the growing suspicion that there’s a plan behind all of them...
Kayla Phair loves heroic adventures but has been wondering for a long time what bruises go unseen on the hearts of the people who save the day. A prolific writer of short stories and transformative fiction under the pen name Sotrublesome17, Kayla brings us her debut novel starring a protagonist first conceived in an animation class nearly a decade ago. Kayla’s passion for stories extends beyond books to movies of all kinds, live action TV, and anime. She lives in Barrie, Ontario, with her common-law partner, Ming, and their two cats and two dogs.
