The Torch Trilogy #2
by Moira Buffini
The hugely anticipated second instalment in the hottest dystopian fantasy The Torch Trilogy. Who will triumph? Those with songlight, or those without? Welcome back to a world where songlight - or telepathy - is either your greatest power or your greatest curse. Elsa is on the run and is urgently seeking a safe haven.
Lark fled Northaven with her mother and is seeking safe haven, Nightingale is forced to use her songlight against her people, Piper's been promoted and Rye has stumbled across an airship, as peace is more fragile than ever.
"Deftly explores a range of human differences against the backdrop of a lush, immersive world populated by characters who are diverse in appearance and culture. The whiplash of experiencing heartache and hope in rapid succession leads to thought-provoking questions. Heartbreaking, heartening, wondrous." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
