The age of power has ended, or so the Hand of Reason would have the world believe. Yet when a father returns from a season's fair to find his newborn daughter able to command fire and air, the fragile order of his world begins to unravel.
As fear grips the land of Reor, the knowledge of his child's power could expose his family to the wrath of the regime. Bound by love yet torn by ambition, fear, and duty, husband and wife face an impossible choice between the child who defies their world and the legacy that sustains it. Giving her away may be their best option.
Into their heartbreak steps Peryst de Arranu, who takes the child as his daughter as he follows his own path of resistance against the Hand of Reason.
From the arid plains of Reor to the forests of Mehru, Touched by Light unveils a sweeping tale of forbidden power, sacrifice, and the quiet heroism that endures when hope seems lost. Touched by Light explores the limits of devotion, the peril of blind belief, and the bonds of blood and love.
For readers drawn to deep themes, political fantasy, and power entwined with choice, Touched by Light asks the haunting questions: How far would you go to protect the light the world condemns? How far would you go to protect those you love?
Touched by Light reminds you what's worth saving.
