If the library is silent after midnight, don't read the names on the wall. One of them is already yours....
“Don’t turn on the light.” Eli Cross freezes in the heart of the blackout zone—and hears his missing sister whisper his name from the darkness. Then something tears through the street, and the light in his palm ignites for the first time. The forbidden power makes him the only person the darkness cannot consume… and the Council’s most wanted target. Rachel Flint, the hunter sent to execute him, is forced to flee beside him when monsters, rebels, and the Council close in—but every touch between them could expose them both. As Eli follows Maya deeper into the zone, he discovers his sister may still be alive… but no longer entirely human. When Maya begs him to turn the light on and end her suffering, will Eli save his sister—or become the weapon that destroys the city?
