Songlight

Dystopisch, magisch und atmosphärischElsa ist es gewohnt, Geheimnisse zu wahren: ihre Gefühle für Rye, ihre Abneigung gegen die von Männern beherrschte Welt und, am wichtigsten, ihre Songlight-Gabe.

Unerwartet entsteht eine Freundschaft zwischen den beiden. Und diese Freundschaft ist wichtiger denn je, denn ein Krieg zieht auf, und nur gemeinsam haben sie eine Chance, die Grausamkeit in Northaven zu beenden und die Macht des Songlight wieder strahlen zu lassen.
