"Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this." Dave Bayley, Glass Animals. "Dark, beautiful and razor-sharp.' Bexy Cameron, author of Cult Following. TO BE ADAPTED INTO A MAJOR TV SERIES Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old Alora online. Never before has she heard a voice like Alora’s, and when it’s clear there isn’t anyone at the label interested in hearing this phenomenal talent, Eva takes matters into her own hands and offers Alora representation as her manager without knowing the first thing about artist management or what’s about to happen to both of them. It turns out Eva's instincts were right…Alora is catapulted into the spotlight of major superstardom, and as the two young women navigate the whirling vortex of fame—the parties, the paparazzi, the power—they form a close bond, becoming found family to each other. But when Alora’s dark and mysterious past begins to infiltrate her present and Eva’s ambi¬tion and success blind her to the obvious signs that her friend is in trouble, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences. DARKENING SONG is a fiercely feminist debut for fans of DAISY JONES & THE SIX and EUPHORIA. It's about friendship and betrayal. It’s a love story, and a story about trauma. But more than anything, it’s a story about hope and about how dreams can come true in ways we least expect. READER REVIEWS "A bewitching, beautiful story of fame, power, and human vulnerability in the modern age. Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this." Dave Bayley, Glass Animals "Darkening Song is a taut and haunting look at modern stardom. Ferociously written and moving." Isabel Banta, author of Honey "Dark, beautiful, and razor-sharp.” Bexy Cameron, author of Cult Following "Beautiful, gripping and heartbreaking in places. I loved this novel." John Niven, author of Kill Your Friends & O Brother "A steely look at the chaos and the decadence of the music industry. " Rachel Dawson, author of Neon Roses "Beautifully illustrates the universal intricacies of love, loss, ambition and the pursuit of dreams." Honor Teideman, Reprezent Radio DJ “Absolutely stunning. I tore through this one in only a few sittings, what a beautiful story. Reminiscent of a David Lynch film in the best way possible.” 5 Star Reader Review “Darkening Song is a mesmerising, unsettling, and surprisingly hopeful exploration of what it means to be seen—and what it costs.” 5 Star Reader Review “Darkening Song is a haunting, beautifully written novel that lingers long after the last page. The characters are flawed and deeply alive, and their choices echo with meaning. This is the kind of book that invites you to slow down, to feel, and to think. If you’re drawn to moody, introspective fiction with gorgeous writing and emotional depth, Darkening Song is well worth your time.” 5 Star Reader Review
