Darkness sings. Light answers. One girl stands between.
Seventeen-year-old Aria Cross just wants to finish high school quietly. But when her best friend dies under mysterious circumstances, whispers of something darker begin to haunt her small town.
The ruined chapel on Cedar Street hums with secrets, classmates are drawn there in their sleep, and Aria's journal fills with confessions she never wrote.
Then come the strangers:
Lucien - intoxicating, dangerous, a morally gray love interest whose voice feels like gravity.
Eli - steady, luminous, carrying light into the shadows that refuse to let go.
Caught between them, Aria must decide whether to chase comfort, answers, or the truth-even if it means standing against the darkness itself.
Fans of YA dark fantasy romance, gothic romance books, and dark academia fantasy will be captivated by this story of love, grief, and spiritual warfare. If you've ever fallen for a charming villain, longed for a steadfast protector, or walked the edge of faith and fear, Shadows of Light is for you.
Perfect for readers of Stephanie Garber, Holly Black, and V.E. Schwab.
The shadows are shifting. The chapel is only the beginning.
