Night Vision by Ella West tells the captivating story of Viola, a young girl born with a genetic condition that makes sunlight deadly. In the dark of night, when most teenagers are tucked up in bed, Viola has the run of her parents' farm and the surrounding forest.

She is accustomed to seeing hidden things through her night-vision goggles, but one night, she witnesses something that could lead her into a whole lot of trouble. Viola has always believed she would be dead before she turned twenty, but now she is confronted with a crucial decision.
