About this ebook
Introducing the explosive first book in the Torch Trilogy - the hottest release of the decade!
'Hard-hitting, imaginative, wide-ranging.' GUARDIAN
'A superb opening instalment of a dystopian YA trilogy.' THE TIMES
' Songlight feels like the start of something big.' SFX
They are hunting those who shine . . .
Don't be deceived by Northaven's prettiness, by its white-wash houses and sea views. Many of its townsfolk are ruthless hunters. They revile those who have developed songlight, the ability to connect telepathically with others. Friends, neighbours, family will turn on each other in an instant . . .
Lark has lived in grave danger ever since her own songlight emerged. Then she encounters a young woman in peril, from a city far away. An extraordinary bond is forged. But when power is everything, how will they survive?
An epic new trilogy from an award-winning, internationally acclaimed screenwriter, Songlight promises to set the world alight!
Readers are already hooked:
'This book was amazing, I couldn't put it down.'
'The Power meets The Handmaid's Tale . . . truly a joy to read.'
'I was personally held hostage by this book until the final pages, and in a good way.'
