When perfection is mandatory, revolution is the only answer.
In 2079 New America, happiness is mandatory and grief is a crime. When Gaylen Andrews can't stop mourning his lost family, he's marked for government "rehabilitation." Desperate, he descends into D.C.'s violent underground, where he encounters the Lightbringers-rebels who believe darkness must be faced, not hidden. As citizens disappear for showing imperfect emotions, Gaylen must choose between embracing violence or finding inner light. In a world built on beautiful lies, one man's journey from grief to action will challenge everything society believes about happiness, freedom, and the price of truth.
The Lightbringers is a classic dystopian story and the debut novel by near-future science-fiction author H.C.H. Ritz. If you loved Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451, you will love this masterfully penned and captivating tale. Start the adventure today!

H.C.H. Ritz has a degree in theatre from the University of Houston and directs community theatre in her spare time. Originally from rural Mississippi, she has lived in Houston, Texas long enough to have turned into a city person. She is married to a wonderful human being and has a young son and a tortoiseshell kitty named Roxy Underfoot.
"Dripping in Orwellian symbolism, and showcasing the realistic dangers of group-think, The Lightbringers is a fun-filled trip through a near future where every thought and emotion is policed. I recommend it to anyone who has ever been told 'You shouldn't feel this way.'" - Leo King, author of The Bourbon Street Ripper
