When Rayah reawakened in her dorm, she couldn’t distinguish if she had only dreamed of meeting Soren, a defect from the wild-lands, or if she had somehow used her Lighter Form to jump there. But only the elite, the most powerful of Lighters, could manifest their Lighter Forms. Right? And what was that dark energy she used when under attack by depleters? Was Rayah really as powerless as she thought? And if she could use dark energy, could she even call herself a Lighter at all?

She was given a second chance to prove that she could manifest her powers. She had no idea she’d have to hide them. Ever since Rayah could remember, she had always been different from everyone else. Not only was she the prized daughter of the greatest collectors known to history, but she was also branded a null. To the students of Monroe Academy, Rayah was a privileged failure. A lightless lighter. A worthless Lytonian. And if it weren’t for her parents, they would have been calling her a slave years ago.

If we were looking at the whole picture, I was not a catch. Men didn't want someone difficult like me. They didn't have the patience or the will and I didn't blame them. A boring relationship with a guy that tolerated me was the best I could hope for. That was exactly who I'd been with for the past two years; a boyfriend that was kind of an asshole and barely acknowledged my existence. Then... he showed up. Two years and an ocean had separated us, but now he was back and it seemed like he was on a mission to pull me back into his orbit.
