Without Light: A Dystopian Thriller of Survival, Secrets, and Resistance (The Sanctioned Series Book 1)

Power is measured in wattage. Light is currency. And survival is a lie.

Without Light is a dark, gripping dystopian thriller perfect for fans of The Power, Blood Over Bright Haven, and Vox. Set in a fractured world where deception powers society and energy is a weapon, this is the first book in The Sanctioned Series.

In Sandric, survival comes at a cost-and light is the most valuable commodity. Beneath its glittering cities lies a system engineered to manipulate, control, and break.

Levity never asked to be a symbol. Forced into The Sanctioning-an excruciating psychological trial-she must fight to protect her family and hold onto her sense of self.

Betta, a disillusioned leader at the end of her term, has spent years navigating the regime's lies. But when she uncovers a hidden conspiracy, she faces a devastating choice: obey the system or risk everything to expose the truth.

Bound by fate and a connection neither fully understands, Levity and Betta must confront the darkness threatening to consume their world-and themselves.

Will they dismantle the lies, or will the system bury them?

Filled with political intrigue, psychological warfare, and razor-sharp stakes, Without Light is a chilling reminder of how far people will go to control power-and how much further others will go to take it back.
