Neuware - The age of power has ended, or so the Hand of Reason would have the world believe. Yet when a father returns from a season's fair to find his newborn daughter able to command fire and air, the fragile order of his world begins to unravel.As fear grips the land of Reor, the knowledge of his child's power could expose his family to the wrath of the regime. Bound by love yet torn by ambition, fear, and duty, husband and wife face an impossible choice between the child who defies their world and the legacy that sustains it. Giving her away may be their best option.Into their heartbreak steps Peryst de Arranu, who takes the child as his daughter as he follows his own path of resistance against the Hand of Reason.From the arid plains of Reor to the forests of Mehru, Touched by Light unveils a sweeping tale of forbidden power, sacrifice, and the quiet heroism that endures when hope seems lost. Touched by Light explores the limits of devotion, the peril of blind belief, and the bonds of blood and love.For readers drawn to deep themes, political fantasy, and power entwined with choice, Touched by Light asks the haunting questions: How far would you go to protect the light the world condemns How far would you go to protect those you love Touched by Light reminds you what's worth saving.…

Born Touched by Light.
Sentenced to die in flames.
Maia's birth spells disaster. When a glassmaker discovers his infant daughter is marked by the forbidden power, everything he has built-including his infant son's future-is threatened. He and his wife must decide: give her up to the flames of the Hand of Reason or flee to save her, causing them all to suffer. Sending her away might be their only hope.
Peryst de Arranu, a Touched soldier and monster hunter from the North, where being Touched by Light is a blessing and not a curse, takes his niece Maia as his daughter and begins a perilous journey across southern Ankisua.
To keep Maia safe, Peryst will join rebels, soldiers, and nobles who fight the Hand's hatred and bigotry to keep the regime from burning their world to the ground.
From the darkest peril to the glimmers of hope, TOUCHED BY LIGHT weaves a tale of conviction, sacrifice, and the light that refuses to dim.

About the Author
Berna Hudson was born in Chile, grew up in Australia, then returned to Chile for her teenage years before moving to Spain. She moved to England in 1999 and stayed. Daughter of a true nomad, she's proved to be less so in practice but very much so in her mind.
Berna's first job was as a money collector from butchers. Side payments in steak kept her alive when funds were short. Her next experience was working for the legal department of a Drug Rehab centre, much less dangerous than the first job. The third was in aircraft financing, which gave her way too much information about aeroplanes, which she has actively tried to forget. The fourth and last in the legal world was in shipping, where she gave her whole salary over to childcare and realised it wasn't worth it so packed up the files.
The Hand of Reason came about by accident. Berna started writing a short story about a girl called Maia. It turned into the tale of Maia's father and went on from there. It was a long time later that Berna realised that it was a story that tried to make sense of her youth, looking at the insidiousness of totalitarianism from all sides.
Berna lives in London with her husband and her Great Dane, Echo.
Her children come and go, but never too far.
