Radiant Rot, (Paperback)

<p><strong>In the city of Lumina, beauty is a death sentence. And light is the ultimate poison.</strong></p><p>Shrouded in perpetual night, Lumina is powered by "Star-Dust," a glowing, radioactive mineral mined from a fallen meteor. For the aristocracy in the shielded towers, it is a source of limitless energy. For the girls in the factories, it is a slow, glittering execution.</p><p>Vala is a Dial-Painter. Her job is to paint the clock faces of the city with liquid Star-Dust so they glow in the dark. Taught to lick the tip of her brush to get a fine point, she is now succumbing to "The Glimmer." Her jaw and bones are illuminating from the inside out, a beautiful, terrifying decay that marks her as a walking corpse. She is radioactive, unstable, and lethal to touch.</p><p>Roric is a Lead-Smith. Encased in a heavy suit of lead and leather, he works in the containment sector. He is a "Sink"-a rare human with a void-like physiology capable of absorbing radiation. He is the city's executioner, sent to extinguish Dial-Painters when they become "Critical."</p><p>But when Roric is ordered to dispose of Vala, he hesitates. In a world of cold metal and darkness, her burning light is the only thing that makes him feel alive. He becomes her secret keeper, her containment, and her only hope.</p><p>The dynamic is deadly: Vala is a living nuclear core, and Roric is the only one who can survive her embrace. If he lets go, she burns up; if he holds on too long, he absorbs the poison meant to kill her.</p><p><strong>She is the glow. He is the shadow. A love that will either light the world or turn it to ash.</strong></p>
