About
For fans of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, EUPHORIA and LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, this fiercely feminist and haunting debut will hook you from page one.
Eva is 18 years old and interning at a record label when she discovers 16 year old singer, Alora, online. When no one at the label will listen to Eva about Alora's phenomenal talent, she takes matters into her own hands and offers to be Alora's manager.
Alora is swiftly catapulted into the spotlight of superstardom, and as the two young women navigate their way through the whirling vortex of fame, money and power, they form a beautiful bond.
But when Alora's past begins to infiltrate her present and Eva's success mutates into self-interest, their lives unravel with disastrous consequences.
DARKENING SONG is a story about friendship and betrayal, it's a love story and a story about trauma, but more than anything it's a story about hope and dreams coming true in ways we least expect.

Reviews
"The exploration of female ambition and the desperate decisions each woman makes to grab at power, success, and notoriety in an industry where men systemically withhold all the above make this story worth reading."
Kirkus
"As Alora's mental state changes, Seddon expertly shifts the novel's tone so that readers can truly understand what the teen star is going through. Suggest to readers of Kate Elizabeth Russell's My Dark Vanessa."
Booklist
"A bewitching, beautiful story of fame, power, and human vulnerability in the modern age. Rarely does a debut novel shatter your heart like this."
Dave Bayley, lead singer of Glass Animals
