Light in a Dark Place: An Emergent Universe: Book Two of Five

By Forest Woodes

Winner of the 2026 Gold Literary Titan Award. A complete 5-book binge-worthy epic.

For a Black and White Sister, 'this is monstrous' and 'this is necessary' remain simultaneously true. Sara is a zealot, forced to live in permanent tension between horror and necessity. Her job: unite all humanity to face extinction. The war was over. Earth was devastated. The colonies were ash and it was time to start planting. She returned to the palace, to a world of practiced smiles, plots within plots, court politics, and family drama. Back into assassins' crosshairs. Nothing is off the table when it comes to survival. Not her brother's honor. Not her father's safety. Not her own conscience. This is the story of a zealot who will sacrifice anything-including herself- to save humanity.

In an emergent universe, unity is bought with blood and pressure.
