The very thing that threatens their existence holds the key to their survival.
Earth is underwater. Those who were lucky enough to survive The Sinking now live on the islands that remain. But only the naive believe they're safe.
Alexander Lumana and the council decide to raise a generation with one goal in mind: survive. Each year, infants are selected to attend Brillimous School of Enlightenment, where, alongside flight training and diplomacy courses, the students are treated with light therapy that rewires their minds and bodies to operate at a level above the rest. The Remaining World regards them as heroes. They consider themselves lucky, chosen. The council views them as little more than pawns.
Now, several years later, Alexander's daughter Evelyn has stepped into power, and the time has come to put their plan to the test. As Earth begins to crumble, the fate of the human population rests in the hands of Senna Osindile and her nineteen other Brillimous core members. But this is what Senna was made for. Despite long-untold family secrets coming to light, friendship breakdowns, and falling in love, Senna will do whatever it takes to ensure everyone makes it out alive.
Told from the perspective of six unique, relatable, and authentic characters, Brillimous is a story of hope under pressure, life after loss, and the families we find along the way.
