Never Alone

   (3 reviews)
Genres: Fantasy General Fiction,
Sub-genres: Drama, Coming of Age, Magical Realism, Family Drama

A white owl flies against a dark and foreboding background of black trees.

Sixteen-year-old Jacy Elliott has always felt like an outsider. When a sudden flash of foresight saves a stranger from a fatal accident, he’s left questioning his sanity. A simple family-history assignment then unravels hidden truths, old wounds, and long-buried connections. Pushing past his mother’s evasions, Jacy uncovers a lineage he was never meant to know — and a bond with a stranger that feels inexplicably ancient. Never Alone explores chosen family, identity, and the first glimmers of an extraordinary gift.

This story is a prequel to A Change of Worlds, coming soon in 2026.

If you know this author then I don't have to tell you anything but if you don't then read this prequel to an upcoming story that will be on this site. The Author does a masterful job of getting the reader to know all the characters and you end up caring for the protagonist. I'm confident after you read this you'll want more

Response from the author:

Thank you!

Never Alone is the story of young Jacy, who, after losing his parents, is raised by someone whose fanatical religious beliefs lead them to deny him his heritage. Uncovering his secret past and family connections leads him on an amazing journey, meeting individuals he never knew, and the gifts of creating a family to call his own, and a surprising ability.

Response from the author:

Thank you for such a wonderful review!

Jacy Elliott has a "gift", a gift we readers have only had a brief glimpse of, a "gift" which he has only just begun to experience, a "gift" which he does not yet fully understand or can articulate.

The author @Josh Aterovis has a "gift", one which we privileged readers have experienced on a number of occasions now, one which he has been able to articulate time and time again, one which we look forward to him favouring us with again, with the "sequel" to this story in which Jacy Elliott will play a part in a Killian Kendall mystery.

Bring it on bon vivant of Baltimore.
