Um…essentially Night-Dreamed Roads is Mad Max: Fury Road meets The Fairies of Pixie Hollow. It’s a solarpunk sci-fi/fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic future where the apocalypse was long ago enough that society has dragged itself back together again, and my group of Mormon girls all live in this solarpunk town in a string of towns where everything is a mix of tech and magic (with magic-users needing to use math and science to work and science relying on magic in the same way), and my girls are all witches on the verge of testing to become Adepts, but they have to go through the actual test, which changes from year to year, and sometimes witches have died.
And in the middle of preparing for the test (which has an academic portion as well as the different-each-year practical portion), their town gets attacked and the girls try to teleport out with the rest of the townspeople, but they go back for their elderly teacher and when they try to teleport out, the teleporters are destroyed in the middle of the transport and the girls end up in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dangers, and needing to get back to their town to save their teacher.
This spawned another book idea about Mormon witches in space, which I was also calling Night-Dreamed Roads because I don’t have another title for it yet and I hate things not having titles. It’s the only thing standing in my way right now of starting my VR gaming book.
