Thornlight
The skies of the Vale are quiet. The lightning is gone. The Gulgot climbs ever closer, its darkness poisoning the land.
Brier was born with a nose for lightning. She is the most talented harvester the Vale has ever seen. Surely, she and her unicorn Noro can find enough lightning to fend off the great evil threatening her home.
Thorn, Brier’s shy and sensitive twin, is an artist, a gutter sweep. But when the unthinkable happens, Thorn must summon the strength she never knew she had and go on a quest to find a legendary, powerful witch—a witch who could save the Vale.
Celestyna, Queen of the Vale, Master of the Realm, Daughter of Westlin, and Mender of the Break, has borne the royal family’s curse ever since her parents’ deaths. And now she is determined to break it—no matter what it takes.
But nothing is what it seems. Not the lightning. Not the curse. Not the Gulgot. Not even the famous Quicksilver Foxheart. Can Brier, Thorn, and Celestyna become the heroes the Vale needs?
