Star-crossed lovers against-all-odds friendship and a brutally unforgiving world make this
first in a trilogy utterly unforgettable. We’re two songs joined. And there’s a word for that.
A harmony. Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herself—her feelings for Rye her
distaste for a world ruled by men and most crucially her gift of songlight. She buries that
secret deep inside. In Brightland those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred.
Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight and their shared bond has brought
them together. Elsa’s world begins to fall apart one desperate heart-wrenching day and she
doesn’t know where to turn until a girl appears before her. But the girl isn’t really there—her
songlight has been drawn to Elsa’s frantic grief. Elsa lives in a remote seaside village
Nightingale her new friend lives in a city hundreds of miles away with her father a
government official responsible for rooting out Unhumans. The two never expected to connect via
songlight. But when they do and when they realize the extent of their power they’ll be thrust
in the middle of a war that threatens their very existence. From an award-winning screenwriter
making her novel debut comes this powerful page-turning trilogy perfect for fans of Sabaa
Tahir and Adrienne Young.
