Three years after running away from home, Olivia is stuck with a dead-end job in the nowhere town of Chapel Hill, Pennsylvania. At least she has her best friend, Sunflower.

Olivia figures she’ll die in Chapel Hill, if not from boredom, then the summer night storm which crashes into town with a mind-bending monster in tow.

If Olivia’s going to escape Chapel Hill and someday reconcile with her parents, she’ll need to dodge residents enslaved by the storm’s otherworldly powers and find Sunflower.

But as the night strains friendships and reality itself, Olivia suspects the storm, and its monster, may have its eyes on Sunflower and everything she loves.

A Light Most Hateful is a gripping tale of resilience and survival, where Olivia must navigate a night of chaos and confront forces beyond her comprehension to protect what matters most, including herself.
