The Light is Dimmer

In a world where even the gods are corrupt, who can Lucky trust? When orphaned teen Lucky Barlowe catches the eye of a kind-hearted God, Lord Siren, he believes his bad fortune has come to an end. That is, until Lucky receives a troublesome blessing from the God. With his newfound abilities, Lucky must navigate dream-like memories of events he's never experienced. Shocked by what he sees, it is up to Lucky to uncover the truth behind the beloved God. In a world of distrust, deceit, and lies that span centuries, the reader must piece together the past through hidden messages, poetry scattered throughout passages, and breaks in the linear narrative for letters and journals. Combining elements of literary fiction and fantasy, The Light is Dimmer explores humanity's hunger for power, and follows the struggles of mental health, self-worth, and healing after trauma. Full of gut-wrenching twists and endearing characters, Lucky's journey is as heartbreaking as it is therapeutic. Praise for The Light is Dimmer: "A deeply introspective journey that will gently insist you examine all the facets that make you human." - JD Steiner, Author of the Wreckleaf series
