About Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks:
A distant future. A world transformed.
Remnants of a shattered moon traverse the skies, memorials to an ancient and nearly-forgotten conflict. In an isolated northern land, society is overseen by the reclusive, all-female, Guild of Dawnsingers, which holds a monopoly on advanced learning. Life seems peaceful and well-ordered; but are the Dawnsingers as benevolent as they seem? What secrets are they hiding?
And what really lies beyond the mountains in the East?
Orphan Jerya unexpectedly finds a home in the Dawnsingers’ Guild, but her new life turns sour. Soon she finds herself struggling to reconcile the exhilaration of learning with her growing doubts about the very basis of the Guild’s rule. Ultimately she faces an agonising choice which could utterly change her life, and the lives of her two most trusted friends.
Award-winning outdoor writer Jon Sparks turns to speculative fiction in the first book of the genre-stretching Shattered Moon series.

Author Bio:
I’ve been writing fiction as long as I can remember, but for many years I made my living as an (award-winning) outdoor writer and photographer specialising in landscape, travel, and outdoor pursuits, particularly walking, climbing, and cycling. I live in Garstang, Lancashire, with my partner Bernie and several bikes. I’ve won awards for my writing from the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
Three Kinds of North is not the first novel I’ve written, but it’s the first to be properly published. And it’s just the first of a series, The Shattered Moon.
