-
Welcome back to a world where songlight—telepathy—is either your greatest power or your greatest curse.
Elsa is on the run, urgently seeking a safe haven. Nightingale is being held captive, forced to use her songlight against her own people. Piper has risen through the ranks of the Airmen, where only bloodshed is rewarded.
Rye stumbles upon an incredible airship unlike anything the world has ever seen. All four are united by one goal: peace. But peace between the Aylish and Brightland is more fragile than ever. A new threat looms—not just to Brightland, but to Ayland and the world beyond.
A race of elite Torches owns the airship Rye discovered, recently returned to Earth. The future of civilisation teeters on a knife’s edge. Brightland seeks to extinguish songlight. Ayland longs for harmony. Sealand wants songlight to reign—no matter the cost.
A stunning sequel to Rival, this is the most exciting fantasy trilogy in decades.
