Song of the Solas Series by Andrea Renae

A land plagued with darkness and grief is all Amyrah knows, but when luminescent creatures appear in the Vale, her inborn gift awakens and allows her to see the shadows for what they are. Caught between fear and the pull of light on her soul, she must decide whether her convictions are worth shattering the beliefs of those she loves. If courage fails her and she gives in to the pressing dark, her people could remain shrouded forever... moreA land plagued with darkness and grief is all Amyrah knows, but when luminescent creatures appear in the Vale, her inborn gift awakens and allows her to see the shadows for what they are.

In the light-soaked lands to the north, Amyrah Cantar experiences a reprieve from the Shrouded beasts that haunted her steps. But prejudice roams freely outside of the Vale, and her gift of light is resented even where people have never tasted living darkness... moreIn the light-soaked lands to the north, Amyrah Cantar experiences a reprieve from the Shrouded beasts that haunted her steps. But prejudice roams freely outside of the Vale, and her gift of light is resented even where people have never tasted living darkness.As the shadows begin to advance and the difference between dark and light become harder to distinguish, Amyrah must decide if she is willing to pursue the answers she craves to prevent the loss she never wants to experience again—risking her own heart in the process.Thrown into the fray by forces beyond her control, she questions if belonging to a different world means she must abandon the one that made her who she is. less
