Joyfully Jay
I love broken heroes, angst-filled books (with happy endings), and lovely writing. This book has all of that, along with slippery politics, visceral action scenes, and characters who grow and change according to who they are — not simply because it was convenient to tie off a loose end.

Blurb: Cole Mccade
"Fast-paced, action-driven, with complex world-building and engaging characters who deliver both grit and heart. Harrow lives up to their name with a harrowing ride of moral choices and emotional investment, and a writing style that never fails to engage."
— COLE MCCADE, AUTHOR OF THE CRIMINAL INTENTIONS SERIES

Though there are many amazing parts of this book, the crowning jewel was the characters. The three main characters (heretoafter referred to as The Murder Boys*) all stood on their own with compelling backstories and unique voices.

Big SHINY ROBOT
Alex Harrow tells a great story with the twists and turns of a solid action thriller. Like most action thrillers, there is death in various forms, vice, language, and sex all told in the detail of someone who grew up in the middle of it all and describing how they understand it—in its raw form.

Kate Morgan Blurb
“The adventures of Damian, Aris, and Raeyn carried me along like a wild trip on the rapids. And then it tossed my heart into a clothes wringer and left it crushed on the floor. Run, don't walk, to get a copy!”

Barbara Ann Wright
“A twisting, yet satisfying plot combined with unforgettable LGBTQ+ characters makes Empire of Light one of my favorite sci-fi reads and Alex Harrow one of my favorite authors. They never disappoint.”

This was a hell of a book. A great sci-fi action story. Damian couldn’t seem to catch a break in this story no matter what he did. And I couldn’t put the book down to see how he would get through the next set of trials that were thrown against him.
