12-year-old Ella Jones has been blind for two years and

is navigating her new world with the help of her guide dog Maisie,

her sister Poppy and her best friend Finn.

One day, on a visit to central London with her family, a

light in the world is suddenly extinguished, causing

panic and chaos as people are plunged into pitch black. A pagan god

of light, Lugh, has been released from his millennium-old-prison

by a shadowy villain and, out for revenge on humans, has brought

darkness down on the world. But Ella is the hero the world

needs: she is used to living her life in darkness every

day, and is able to keep calm and work out a plan to defeat

Lugh and return light to the world.

an edge-of-your-seat, wonderfully twisty

adventure mystery for fans of Percy Jackson and Skandar.

young people that disabilities do not have to hold them back.
