Growing up in her treetop, jungle society, Lirah has never been one to follow the rules. She has an endless desire to explore, to find what lies beyond her small and secluded village. One evening, her mother comes to her with news of a vision: their society will soon be under threat from mysterious forces. Lirah attempts to save her people, but when she is not only dismissed but punished for trying to help, she decides to see whether there is more to her world than just the Treetop Society. With a few friends and her ailing mother, Lirah makes a desperate plan to forge her own path. Embarking on a journey of discovery into a world that is more wondrous, terrifying, and magical than she had ever imagined, Lirah must contend with vicious animals, conniving allies, fierce battles, oppressive landscapes, fantastical technology, and fears about what her own visions are beginning to show her of the future. A coming-of-age, sci-fi fantasy with richly-detailed worldbuilding, characters full of heart, jaw-dropping twists, and introspective moments, Drifting Light is a YA adventure you won't want to miss.
