About this listen

What if the thing you feared most… became your only friend?

In a war-touched town where shadows stretch longer each night, young Lila has learned to fear the dark—until one evening, the darkness speaks back.

From the flicker of a dying candle emerges Elyra, a mysterious girl cloaked in shadows who calls herself The Dark. But she’s not a monster. She’s curious, kind, and impossibly ancient. And she’s here to ask Lila one question: Why are you so afraid of me?

So begins an unforgettable journey of moonlit conversations, hidden truths, and an unbreakable bond forged in the quiet between heartbeats. As Lila’s world begins to unravel, she’s offered an impossible choice—remain human and broken... or become something more.

Told in lyrical prose and poetic whispers, Lila & The Dark is a hauntingly beautiful tale about fear, friendship, and finding light in the most unexpected places.

Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, and anyone who’s ever looked into the night and felt both wonder and fear.
