About this audiobook
The Festival of Returning Lights brings every district to the Registry square — and every district brings a lantern that remembers something the official record forgot.
Mara Vell has spent two seasons learning that care is a form of evidence. Now she must prove it to a city that is finally, cautiously, ready to listen.
As borrowed routes glow across the old map and keepers from Brinehook, Thimblewash, and Kettlemark arrive with customs no Registry form was built to hold, Mara faces the question the whole series has been building toward: can a record be official and alive at the same time?
The Festival of Returning Lights is the conclusion of The Living Light Chronicles — a cozy fantasy about homecoming, the courage to keep things whole, and the kind of light that only burns when people tend it together.
