Is songlight the greatest gift, or the most terrible curse?

The Brotherhood strengthens its grip, but the Dawnsingers still find ways to connect. They resist with everything they have. Skylark is on the run, heading to Brightlinghelm with his mysterious enemy. Nightingale tries to escape the golden cage of Sister Swan, forced to use songlight against her own people. Rye sets sail across the ocean towards unknown danger. And Piper must keep playing the role of an elite Brotherhood flyer, where success means nothing less than more bloodshed.

All four share a desire for peace, but it seems further out of reach than ever. The future of civilisation hangs by a thread. Does Petra from the majestic airship Celestis become their saviour, or do her people prove to be an even greater threat? Who wins in the end? Those who command songlight, or those without it?

The second instalment in the dystopian fantasy trilogy about the power of friendship.

The work skilfully explores a whole range of human differences against the backdrop of a rich, immersive world inhabited by characters of diverse appearances and cultures.
— Kirkus

The characters are vivid, emotional and surprisingly complex, including the "villains", with motivations that make chilling sense. This is a story about friendship, resistance, identity and the desire to survive in a system that dehumanises those with songlight.
— Pevnost on the book Songlight

Songlight is a dark yet hopeful story that portrays a dystopian world on the brink of revolution through the eyes of teenage protagonists. The author's ethereal writing style and harrowing plot twists kept me reading long into the night.
