Gillian thought she was ordinary. Foster kid. Small town. No Gift - the test said so. Then her great-grandmother died and left her a wooden tablet that shouldn't exist. A library. Magic from before the Cataclysm, before the Bright - the block they put in every Gifted child to make them safe. And owned. Her best friend Kenzie should have reported her. Magic is illegal. Everyone knows that. Instead, Kenzie said: Teach me. Now they're learning in secret. Shields that go tight and quiet. Light that buzzes faintly. A sand table that shows hunters cutting through their wards. A garden in the workroom - tomatoes too red, basil too thick, fruit that exhales motes of power like pollen when you pick it. The compliance mages are sweeping more often. A pressure behind the eyes, like staring at a light-bulb just out of sight. They can't stay on Earth. So they build something impossible: a home inside the moon. Air from stone, water from shadow-ice, power from a sun no bigger than an apple at noon, condensed into diamond. And they decide to do what no one else dares. To take apprentices. BRIGHT LIGHT is Book 2 of Powers That Be - a coming-of-age fantasy about found family, the cost of hiding who you are, and what happens when two girls decide the government doesn't own magic anymore. Perfect for fans of character-driven fantasy, soft magic with rules, and cozy-but-dangerous cottage witch vibes that go to space.
