The first lie was the light
Not the sun.
Not the stars.
Nor the warm glow of a hearth.
It was made. Given.
A golden promise, whispering truth while casting shadows dark enough to conceal it.
In the town of Lumen, magical lanterns promise safety, wisdom, and a connection... but everything has a cost.
Callan, a spirited young dreamer, has always looked beyond the walls of Lumen, drawn to something just beyond her grasp. When the Lanterns' glow begins to steal the warmth from her family and friends, she realises that not everything shining is a gift.
Determined to uncover what is happening to her town, Callan sets out on a journey that will challenge everything she thought she knew. With the most unlikely of companions by her side, she ventures into a world of forgotten fires and buried legacies.
As shadows close in, Callan must decide if the light she seeks is worth the price and if she has the strength to uncover what was once truth and save those she loves the most.
