Darkening Song

by Delphine Seddon

Genres: Feminist

Synopsis

For fans of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, EUPHORIA and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, this fiercely feminist and haunting debut will hook you from page one.

Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old singer, Alora, online. When no one at the label will listen to Eva about Alora's phenomenal talent, she takes matters into her own hands and offers to be Alora's manager.

Alora is swiftly catapulted into the spotlight of superstardom, and as the two young women navigate their way through the whirling vortex of fame, money and power, they form a beautiful bond.

But when Alora’s past begins to infiltrate her present and Eva’s success mutates into self-interest, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.

DARKENING SONG is a story about friendship and betrayal, it’s a love story and a story about trauma, but more than anything it’s a story about hope and dreams coming true in ways we least expect.
