Description
Life has never been easy for young Jet Stroud. He lives with a rare condition known as ephebus mortem, also called the "youthful death", and legend says it will kill him before his 24th birthday. To make matters worse, the legend also claims that its victims become delusional as they grow older.
However, things take a turn for the better when he is unexpectedly accepted into the renowned Skylight University—an orbiting system in the Earth's atmosphere. At first, he doubts the legend and begins the semester hoping to learn more about his strange disease. As the school year unfolds, he meets a group of students like him and they band together. Soon, strange things start to happen—mysterious shadows follow them, bizarre holographic prophecies appear that only they can see, and haunting voices cloud Jet's thoughts. He begins to struggle on the blaze pitch and with his studies. The small group of students threaten to splinter apart as the semester races to a close and Jet wonders if he will survive.
In the end, he uncovers something about himself so profound that it will change his life forever.
Advance Praise
"Author J. Wint's young adult dystopian series starts with a bang and should appeal to sci-fi and fantasy lovers alike. The plot moves at a blistering pace, with a narrative that also incorporates elements from adventure and mystery genres to keep you on your toes and turning the pages with eager anticipation of what's to come. - Reader's Favorite
There were so many moments as the plot barreled forward where I realized amazing connections that I had overlooked in the early chapters, making it a book to gleefully read again. Surprising and thoughtful, the plot builds steadily and ends with a bang. -Indies Today
J. Wint has created an entirely new universe set in the semi-distant future that is easy to believe and impossible to put down. I absolutely love when genre lines are blurred, and The Prism Affect is a perfect example of combining science fiction, mystery, supernatural, and action. Even athletics and technology make a fair appearance, as we are introduced to the newest, futuristic sport since Quidditch. - Reader's Favorite
The suspenseful bits are ratcheted up high and the mysterious, secretive atmosphere will have readers at the edge of their seats and resisting the urge to shuffle forward a few pages. I absolutely love it when an aura of mystery permeates throughout the entire telling of a story. Wint left enough details unresolved that readers will be waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the series. -- Online Bookclub
Superbly written, the story fires the imagination from the very beginning. The combination of the race against the clock and the distinctive characters creates a suspenseful and unforgettable first book in what promises to be a spectacular series. - Reader's Favorite"
