A captivating tale of power, belonging, and the sacrifices we make for control. In A Neon Darkness, the second Bright Sessions novel from creator Lauren Shippen, we meet Robert Gorham, a man with the power of persuasion. It's a blessing as potent as it is a curse, leaving Robert isolated until a group of strangers welcome him into their fold. They call themselves Unusuals, people who can do impossible things like produce flames without flint, conduct electricity with their hands, and see visions of the past. With them, Robert finds a new name too: DAMIEN. Finally, finally he belongs. But belonging comes at a price. As long as Damien can keep his power under control, he has a place among the Unusuals. Yet control demands a sacrifice he might not be willing to make. Dive into this compelling coming-of-age story filled with diverse characters, supernatural abilities, and the complexities of finding one's place in the world. Perfect for fans of contemporary fantasy, LGBT YA, and superhero tales with a twist. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
