The Lightbringers

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.
