The Heart of Light

In the gray city of Photoma, color has long been forgotten. The sky is a permanent dome of shadows, and everyone follows the strict rules of Mayor Cramp without asking why the world lost its light.

Twelve-year-old Lucía has always done the same—until the day she discovers a hidden chamber and an ancient mysterious book: The Heart of Light.

Guided by the enigmatic Noche and the spirited Estrellita, Lucía begins an extraordinary journey through the history and magic of light itself. From the first cameras to the wonders of modern projection, she discovers that light is not only something we see, but something we create.

But darkness is spreading, and the Mayor will do anything to keep Photoma in eternal gray.

Will Lucía find the courage to bring the light back to her world?

The Heart of Light is an illustrated middle-grade story about curiosity, creativity, and the power of imagination—perfect for readers who love stories where science, history, and fantasy meet.
