Lightrunner: Blackout Awakening

The blackout swallowed my flashlight in three seconds—but when the creature lunged, my bare hand lit up like a star, and every Council hunter in the zone saw it. They call people like me Lightborn, and the punishment is execution. I came into this cursed dark to find my sister Maya, one of the first scouts who never came back. Now I'm bleeding out in a tunnel while a Council agent named Rachel holds a gun to my chest, whispering that she'll let me live if I lead her to the others like me—but the thing stalking us in the shadows just called my name in my sister's voice. Rachel's finger tightens on the trigger, the monsters are closing in, and my sister's scream echoes from deeper in the blackout: do I burn bright enough to save them both, or does the light that makes me special turn me into the one thing this city will never stop hunting?
