Her gifts gone. An ancient adversary closing in. Have her warnings of catastrophe fallen on deaf ears?
Eyre Lightward is devasted to face being thrown out of the Academy. With her light-powers extinguished, she’s resigned to joining the Unlit and leaving the friendships she worked so hard to forge. Though instead of enduring new limitations, Eyre’s eyes are opened when she’s forced to care for strange creatures and undergo rigorous physical training.
But when her old school is attacked again, Eyre discovers a traitor leaking the secret location of a powerful shard of Earth’s protective shield to their bitter enemy. Alerting those in power, her actions backfire when she angers her best friend and brings the entire cohort under threat.
Can the young outcast reclaim her skills and save Earth’s future defenders from disaster?
