Torchfire

LOVE. POWER. RESISTANCE ...

In a world where songlight is either your greatest gift or your greatest curse, the Brethren are tightening their power. But Torches are finding ways to commune.

LARK is on the run. She has lost all contact with Rye, but nothing is going to stop her finding him. NIGHTINGALE is a prisoner, working to free herself from Sister Swans gilded cage. RYE is crossing the ocean on a journey to the dangerous unknown. He will do anything to get back to Lark. PIPER has been promoted to join the ranks of the elite Airmen, and he must play his part.

All four are united by a desire for peace, but the future of Brightland sits on a knife edge.

When an airship from another world arrives, armed by a seemingly superior new race, will PETRA and her people prove to be saviours, or an even greater threat to Brightland?
