No Light Between
A neurodivergent woman discovers she becomes whole only in the world’s terrifying new darkness — a mysterious EM blackout that corrupts everyone except her — and as society turns on her, she must choose between protecting the people she loves and embracing the strange power awakening inside her.
Every day, the world is swallowed by a lightless electromagnetic blackout—an hour of silence where machines die, signals vanish, and human nature unravels. Most people panic when the darkness falls. Lyrica Ashwell can barely survive the hours in between.
In the blackout, her senses sharpen. Her chaotic mind settles. For the first time, she feels whole. But the darkness reveals more than her clarity—people near her lose their inhibitions and turn violent, as if something inside them is being dragged to the surface.
And each cycle pulls that circle closer.
Seeking safety, Lyra confides in her brother. Instead, she’s delivered into a defense program eager to weaponize whatever the darkness is awakening in her. As fear turns allies into threats, Lyra discovers the truth: the darkness isn’t corrupting her.
It’s resonating with her.
Now she must escape those who fear her, survive those broken by the blackouts, and learn to wield the strange coherence the darkness brings—before it destroys the last people she loves.
No Light Between is a psychological speculative thriller about corruption, survival, and the unexpected peace found in the places we fear most.
