Lightfall
by Probert, Tim
Bea is a young girl living in the quiet, tucked-away world of Irpa, but her peaceful life is disrupted when she meets Cad, a member of a near-extinct race called the Galdur. Their meeting sets off an urgent quest to uncover why the sun is slowly fading from their land. The reading experience feels like stepping into a lush, hand-painted dream. Probert balances the weight of a looming mystery with the quiet, grounding comfort of a growing friendship. While there is a real sense of danger, the story remains deeply human, focusing on how two very different individuals lean on each other when the world feels uncertain. This is the perfect read for those who want a story that feels both expansive in its world-building and intimate in its emotional stakes.
