LOVE, POWER, REBELLION...
Her songlight felt like it was burning through me, turning me into a thousand stars. I will find her. I will free her.
In a world where songlight is either your greatest gift or your greatest curse, the Brethren are tightening their power. But Torches are still finding ways to commune.
Lark is on the run, headed for Brightlinghelm, with an enigmatic enemy in her boat. Nightingale is a prisoner, working to free herself from Sister Swan's gilded cage. Rye is crossing the ocean on a journey into the dangerous unknown. And Piper must play his role as the Brethren's elite airman.
All four are united by a desire for peace. But peace feels more elusive than ever. Could Petra, in her majestic airship, be their saviour, or will her people prove an even greater threat?
When survival is on a knife edge, WHO WILL TRIUMPH: THOSE WITH SONGLIGHT, OR THOSE WITHOUT?
A SEQUEL TO RIVAL ALL OTHERS, proving this to be the most exciting trilogy to have been published for decades!
