One night, they agreed it meant nothing.

One season, roped together, says otherwise.

Ottilie Marcbank has one plan for her year at Highcairn University: win the Ascent for Crown, keep her light under control, and never think about April again. Then the coach pairs her with Tamsin Holloway, the loud, quick, impossible rival who has never let her win anything without a fight.

To pass the trials, they must train in secret before dawn, in the mist over a mountain tarn, light and water learning to move as one. To keep it secret, they must keep their hands to themselves.

They are very bad at both.

Told in turns by both women, Light and Mist is a steamy sapphic romantasy about two rivals who were never going to stay enemies: a slow burn, a tight-knit team of women, a secret worth keeping, and a happy ending guaranteed.
