Teenaged Kezi is devastated when her mother falls gravely ill. When her father prays to his god, Admah, in order to save his ailing wife, he offers to sacrifice the first person who congratulates him if she recovers. He’s horrified when it is Kezi. She is granted a few days to live, and on the first of those days she meets handsome Olus, the god of the winds. He is disguised as a wool merchant, and as they wander the countryside together, Kezi falls in love with him. Their love gives Kezi the strength to fight her fate, and it gives Olus the courage to confront his fears. Together–and apart–they exhibit bravery in the face of dire circumstances and faith in the depth of their love.

The repackage of EVER features a new cover by the same artist who illustrated the jacket of Gail Carson Levine’s newest novel, A TALE OF TWO CASTLES.
