Ryan La Sala presents REVERIE at Brookline Booksmith Used Book Cellar

January 6, 2020 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

All Kane Montgomery knows for certain is that the police found him half-dead in the river. He can’t remember anything before an accident robbed him of his memories, so when three of his classmates claim to be his friends and the only people who know what’s truly going on, Kane isn’t sure what to believe or who to trust. But as he and the others are dragged into unimaginable worlds that materialize out of nowhere–the gym warps into a subterranean temple, a historical home nearby blooms into a Victorian romance rife with scandal and sorcery–Kane realizes that nothing in his life is an accident, and only he can stop their world from unraveling.

Ryan La Sala grew up in Connecticut, but only physically. Mentally, he spent most of his childhood in the worlds of Sailor Moon and Xena: Warrior Princess, which perhaps explains all the twirling. He studied Anthropology and Neuroscience at Northeastern University before becoming a project manager specialized in digital tools. He technically lives in New York City, but has actually transcended material reality and only takes up a human shell for special occasions, like brunch, and to watch anime (which is banned on the astral plane). Reverie is Ryan’s debut novel.
