The Only Light Left Burning by Erik J. Brown is a captivating journey of love, trust, and survival set against a desolate, post-apocalyptic world. This highly-anticipated sequel to the queer genre-bending dystopian romance All That's Left in the World picks up where the first novel left off, delivering a compelling continuation of Andrew and Jamie's story.

Having found refuge in a newly formed community, Andrew and Jamie's bond has deepened. They are more in love than ever, taking on roles and responsibilities crucial to their new life. However, the scars of their past and differing visions of their future soon become evident, threatening the harmony they've built.

Jamie feels a restless pull towards adventure and independence, longing to take on the world with Andrew by his side, just the two of them exploring the vast unknown landscapes. On the other hand, Andrew values the security and strength found in their numbers, preferring the safety that their new community provides.

As a menacing storm gathers on the horizon, the fragile peace they enjoy is abruptly disrupted. Forced to venture back into the treacherous wilderness they once escaped, Andrew and Jamie must navigate through old adversaries and uncertain alliances. Their journey is fraught with danger, testing their resilience and the very essence of their relationship.

Will they find their way back to safety and to each other, or will the perils of the outside world tear them apart? The Only Light Left Burning explores these dilemmas with poignant depth, blending elements of romance, suspense, and survival to create a story that is as thrilling as it is heartfelt.

Erik J. Brown masterfully balances tender moments with intense action, capturing the complexities of love in a world where every decision can mean life or death. This sequel not only continues the captivating tale of Andrew and Jamie but also expands the universe around them, enriching the narrative with new challenges and deeper character development.

The Only Light Left Burning is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction and romance, offering a beautifully written, adrenaline-fueled ride that won't be easily forgotten.
