"Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herself--her feelings for Rye, her distaste for the dictatorship she lives in, and most crucially, her gift of songlight, a kind of telepathy. She buries that secret deep inside, because In Brightland, those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred. Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight, and their shared bond has brought them together. Elsa's world, along with her secrets, begins to fall apart one desperate, heart-wrenching day. She doesn't know where to turn, until a girl appears before her--in songlight. Nightingale, Elsa's new friend, lives in a city hundreds of miles away. While they cannot meet in person, when they share their songlight, they begin to realize that they have power--a power that may be able to change the way they live. And together, Elsa and Nightingale will be thrust into the middle of a war that threatens their very existence"-- Provided by publisher.
