The Light That Blinds Us - Hardcover

by Andy Darcy Theo (Author)

A teen discovers there's more to his childhood visions than he ever imagined in this high-stakes romantasy debut, which masterfully weaves together themes of mental health, found family, and first love--perfect for fans of Legendborn and Lauren Roberts!

After a childhood haunted by disturbing hallucinations of the Shadow Man, Alexis Michaels's only comfort is the blue amulet he's had since before he can remember. Now, the visions have gone, and Alexis craves a normal life. But when a trip to Stonehenge unites him with three other teens carrying similar gems, they are all plunged into a hidden world of power-wielding Elementals: chosen ones, who are destined to save the world from an eternal night.

Now Alexis and his companions must venture on a perilous quest, facing tests of love, loss, and loyalty. But a dark past plagues Alexis as they prepare to defeat an adversary more ominous than they could imagine, and a looming secret threatens to corrupt the mission, their lives, and Alexis's mind.
