About this listen
Star-crossed lovers, against-all-odds friendship, and a brutally unforgiving world make this first in a trilogy utterly unforgettable.
We’re two songs joined. And there’s a word for that. A harmony.
Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herself—her feelings for Rye, her distaste for a world ruled by men, and, most crucially, her gift of songlight. She buries that secret deep inside. In Brightland, those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred. Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight, and their shared bond has brought them together.
Elsa’s world begins to fall apart one desperate, heart-wrenching day and she doesn’t know where to turn until a girl appears before her. But the girl isn’t really there—her songlight has been drawn to Elsa’s frantic grief.
Elsa lives in a remote seaside village; Nightingale, her new friend, lives in a city hundreds of miles away with her father, a government official responsible for rooting out Unhumans. The two never expected to connect via songlight. But when they do, and when they realize the extent of their power, they’ll be thrust in the middle of a war that threatens their very existence.
From an award-winning screenwriter making her novel debut comes this powerful trilogy perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir and Adrienne Young.

Story
In a land ruled by ruthless Fae, twenty-one-year-old Lore Alemeyu’s village is trapped in a forested prison. Lore knows that any escape attempt is futile—her scars are a testament to her past failures. But when her village is threatened, Lore makes a desperate deal with a Fae lord. She will leave her home to catalog/organize an enchanted library that hasn’t been touched in a thousand years. No Fae may enter the library, but there is a chance a human might be able to breach the cursed doors.

Story
At the spry young age of twenty-five, Sai has led a quiet life, keeping the family teahouse up and running—even if that means ignoring the past-due notices—and taking care of his ailing mother. But he has a not-so-secret gift that he’s parlayed into a side career: he was born with the ability see the red threads of fate between soulmates, which lends itself nicely to matchmaking. Sai has thus far been content not to follow his own thread, the only one he’s ever seen that’s gray and fraying.

Story
Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.

So good!!
Songlight by Moira Buffini is book one in the Torch Trilogy. If you like fantasy, dystopian, YA, romance, told in multiple POV’s then you will love this book!!
The story follows 2 young women who are Songlights Elsa (Lark) and Kaira (Nightingale), who can communicate telepathically. Unfortunately, they have to hide their identity because it is forbidden to be a Songlight or unhuman as they are also called, they are either enslaved or used as Sirens. Elsa is in love with Rye who is also a Songlight. Rye gets found out by Elsa’s brother Rye, but to protect her he lies and pays the price. I thought Piper was a coward! Swan was captured Kite and he is AWFUL to her. She is so strong but also broken from being held against her will.
I thought the storyline and plot were really good. I liked the world building and thought the story was different from anything I’ve read. This takes place in a dystopian world where women are expected to be married, you are not allowed to who you want to love, you are expected to hate the enemy even though they are amongst you. It’s hard to believe that this is a YA it was so good. There is so much to this book, I read it and then went and listened to the audiobook. Listening to them sing was so beautiful!! I don’t want to say too much but you should go read this book because it is so worth the read and a listen. I cannot wait for book two since this one left us on a cliffhanger.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
