The Torch Trilogy

Songlight (The Torch Trilogy #1) by Moira Buffini

In a world where connection itself can be dangerous, this trilogy steps into the quiet space between fear and longing and lets it burn. The story opens in a fractured society that treats empathy as a threat, where those born with the rare ability to send thoughts and emotions across distance live as fugitives. Their gift, known as songlight, is intimate and unsettling, a power that reveals what people would rather keep hidden. It is here that the heart of the trilogy takes shape.

The narrative follows a set of characters who never asked to stand out. Lark, trying to stay unnoticed, is drawn into a conflict she barely understands when her own songlight sparks to life. Others move through the story carrying their own burdens, from those raised to fear the gifted, to those who have spent their lives running. Their voices intertwine, forming a world steeped in tension, shifting loyalties, and the fragile hope that understanding might survive even when everything else collapses.
