We Bring The Golden Light

Sixteen-year-old Elowen Hart has always struggled with anxiety, especially when thinking about the Links—advanced Human hybrids who rule the Commonwealth and separate themselves behind a wall. She’s had no choice but to cope. Since childhood, she’s been haunted by the stories of the Links. She’s found solace only through her healing frequency ring. Bliss. The ring is all that’s keeping her afloat while living in Florida’s suffocating Human Sector One.

So when Elowen moves to the beachy town of Clearwater to reconnect with her mother and repair their strained relationship, she begins her junior year and is finally taught the truth about the Links—a truth far more sinister than she ever imagined.

But then she meets Xander Strong. He takes her mind off all the dreadful details she’s learning. He’s everything Elowen is not—charismatic, extremely athletic, and not afraid to take risks. For the first time in her life, Elowen feels like she can have fun—and someone truly sees her.

When Xander saves Elowen from drowning, she questions his otherworldly swimming abilities. He seems more than just Human.

As if the truth about the Links wasn’t enough, her brooding childhood friend Noah Reeves reveals the existence of the Golden Arms—a secret underground rebel group of hybrids rising up to protect Humans from the Links’ oppressive rule.   

Elowen suspects that Xander is a Golden Arm. It fills her with hope, but she soon discovers he’s the very thing she fears the most. Xander is a Link—and on the run from a vengeful family member.

Elowen ignores Xander’s red flags and plunges headfirst with her heart. Separation is the law, and dating between Humans and Links is punishable by death. There’s a lot bubbling up to the surface, and Elowen must decide if she’s willing to keep Xander’s secret, knowing that if the truth is exposed, it may sink them both.
