REVISED - Night in Crimson Clouds - YA Fantasy - Sarah B James

Upon discovering his powers, seventeen-year-old Michael Sullivan must choose whether to hunt humans or protect them. Michael’s family members were all ‘Hunters’ and he has the potential to become an excellent one as well, but falling in love with his ‘Defender’ girlfriend, Anahita, endangers his life and his loved ones. Set in a turbulent future, NIGHT IN CRIMSON CLOUDS (106,000 words) is a dual narrative YA fantasy novel with a strong touch of romantic flair.

Michael, who has lost both his brother and his ex-girlfriend to suicide and grown up through public executions, hopes only for a quiet life without having to kill people like the Hunters do, or blindly sacrifice his life for humans like the Defenders do. But out of his love for Anahita, he starts training with her Defender family. This leads to the Hunters targeting him as a traitor and an illegal Defender recruit.

Even though Anahita fears she might be training her enemy, she relies on her secret history with Michael—the past he has no memory of. But everything falls apart when Michael takes a life to save another, and after he discovers the truth about his identity and the sacrifices Anahita has made for him. If Anahita can’t help Michael defeat his own dark side, they might both lose their lives, or each other.
