"He promised to protect me. He forgot to mention that the most dangerous thing in my life was him." One touch from a crystal. One dream. One "Yes." That's all it takes to be chosen by the Gods. Laura is a civilian caught in a war of titans. Rio is the "Light" user obsessed with keeping her safe, but his hands are stained with the memory of a friend burned to bone. When her roommate, Aurora, vanishes into the night-kidnapped by masked men with powers that defy physics-Laura's "normal" life is officially cooked. Now, she's stepping behind the mirror of the "Nightout" hideout, into a squad of monsters who play at being heroes. To find Aurora, she has to trust the boy with the glowing skin and the dark past. But the deeper she goes, the more she wonders: If Rio is the Light... why is her world getting so dark?
