Get ready for an electrifying young adult fantasy! A world divided by class, a school that trains young women for lives they never chose, and two students whose forbidden connection could ignite a revolution: We Set the Dark on Fire is a gripping, queer feminist fantasy about resistance, courage, and love in the face of oppression.
Tehlor Kay Mejia crafts a story filled with tension, heart, and the power of claiming your own destiny. Join Capital City Pride’s book club as we dive into this bold, beautifully written novel that blends romance, rebellion, and the fight for liberation.
Whether you’re finishing the last chapter or just beginning, your voice is welcome around the table. All identities welcome. All sparks encouraged.
Let’s read and rise together.
