When the power goes out across Manchester, nothing explodes. Nothing breaks. Instead, the city goes quiet. In the sudden stillness, Rayah notices what others miss. Fear creeps in when people feel alone, and it fades when someone chooses to stay. As phones die and routines vanish, Rayah and her friends move through the city helping in small, human ways. They walk a lost boy home, sit beside a frightened parent, and remind strangers that they are not on their own. No superpowers. No villains. Just presence, patience, and care. Rayah and the Day the City Went Quiet is a gentle, powerful story about community, calm, and courage without conflict. Written with clarity and restraint, it invites young readers to slow down, notice one another, and understand that kindness does not have to be loud to matter. This is a book that helps children learn how to stay steady when the world feels uncertain, and reminds adults what that looks like too.
Raymond Sutherland is a British Caribbean author and educator from Salford, England, and the creator of the interconnected VevéVerse universe. His work blends Caribbean spirituality, Celtic mythology, urban fantasy, crime fiction, historical fantasy, and social commentary into mythic stories centred on identity, justice, inheritance, and survival. Inspired by family, heritage, and the stories of people often forgotten by history, Sutherland's writing explores the emotional and spiritual weight carried across generations. His characters range from spirit marked children and haunted revolutionaries to fighters, kings, vigilantes, and wandering souls navigating worlds shaped by power, grief, mercy, and consequence. Alongside darker adult works such as the Shadow and Dreadrick stories, he also writes middle grade and young adult novels inspired by his daughters, including Rayah of Dantor and Rivvon. Many of the emotional foundations of the VevéVerse are drawn from his own family, with the character of Obasi inspired by his late father and Mama Elizabeth inspired by his mother. Blending mythic fantasy with grounded emotional realism, Raymond Sutherland continues to expand the VevéVerse across multiple timelines, genres, and age groups, building a literary universe where spirit, history, culture, and legacy collide.
