Book Overview

They are hunting those who shine...

Torch: Book One introduces a brutally unforgiving world filled with star-crossed lovers, unlikely friendships, and a gripping fight for survival. Elsa hides the most important parts of herself—her feelings for Rye, her disdain for a male-dominated society, and most crucially, her secret gift of songlight. In Brightland, those with songlight are labeled Unhumans and are despised by all.

Rye is the only other person Elsa has ever known to possess songlight, and their shared secret has forged a powerful bond between them. But when Elsa’s world begins to crumble one desperate, heart-wrenching day, a mysterious girl appears—not really there, but drawn to Elsa’s frantic grief through songlight.

Elsa lives in a remote seaside village, while Nightingale, her new friend, resides hundreds of miles away in a city ruled by her father, a government official tasked with hunting down Unhumans. Their unexpected connection through songlight thrusts them into the center of a war that threatens their very existence.

Written by an award-winning screenwriter making her novel debut, this powerful, fast-paced trilogy is set to be adapted into a major TV series.
