About this book
Jessica Conwell’s They Who Bring the Light follows Lyra Morne, who once had a family for a brief, shining time before losing it all. Still burdened by what happened at Rook Lake, Lyra is surviving on the streets of a strange city, cut adrift in a harsh and lonely place.
Everything shifts when an unexpected meeting draws Lyra into the case of several missing people connected to a queer youth shelter. As they try to keep a newly found circle of friends safe, suspicion falls on a magnetic pastor whose kindness seems to conceal something far darker. At the same time, a mysterious woman appears with unsettling knowledge about Rook Lake, forcing Lyra to confront a past they believed was behind them. Blending urban fantasy, mystery, and supernatural horror, this follow-up to Ghost Flower explores love, belonging, and the cost of facing monsters in a world not built for you.
