Ignite the Sun

Perfect for readers 13 and up, this allegorical exploration of a young woman's struggle with anxiety and depression is a YA fantasy adventure that is exciting and unique, right down to its metallic book cover. Sixteen-year-old Siria Nightingale has never seen the sun. The light is dangerous, according to Queen Iyzabel, an evil witch who has shrouded the kingdom in shadow. Siria has always hated the darkness and revels in the stories of the light-filled old days that she hears from her best friend and his grandfather. Besides them, nobody else understands her fascination with the sun, especially not her strict and demanding parents. Siria's need to please them is greater even than her fear of the dark. So she heads to the royal city-the very center of the darkness-for a chance at a place in Queen Iyzabel's court. But what Siria discovers at the Choosing Ball sends her on a quest toward the last vestiges of the sun with a ragtag group of rebels who could help her bring back the Light … or doom the kingdom to shadow forever.
