No Light Between
When absolute darkness swallows a third of every day, synesthetic analyst Lyra Ashwell must read the dark’s emotional residue to solve murders that appear only in the blackout—before a predator turns her gift against her.
Every day, the world goes blind.
For seven hours and forty-three minutes, light disappears. Machines die. Streets empty. Most people dread it. For Lyrica Ashwell, it’s the only time she can breathe. The silence, the stillness, the absence of glare and noise—it’s the closest thing she has to peace.
But peace has a cost. Someone is hunting people who experience the darkness as she does, and the murders are drawing closer. To survive, Lyra must confront the truth she’s spent her life avoiding: her difference isn’t a curse to outrun, but a gift she’ll need to accept—before the darkness, and those moving inside it, swallow her for good.
No Light Between is a speculative thriller about acceptance, survival, and the shadows we carry within. Currently in draft.
