Arclight is a young adult novel series written by Josin L. McQuein. The first book, Arclight, was published in April 2013 by Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. According to WorldCat, the book is in 621 libraries. The second book in the series, Meridian, was published in 2014.
The series takes place on a military base called the Arclight in post-apocalyptic America. The Arclight, as the name implies, is surrounded by a ring of high powered lights to keep out the faded, evil creatures that roam "the dark," the area outside Arclight and out of its light. Between Arclight and the Dark is an area known as the Grey: a desolate, sad place that is similar to twilight, the area between light and dark. The story follows Marina, a girl who was discovered alone in the grey and unknown to all of Arclight's citizens. When she is brought to Arclight, she has no recollection of who she is or where she comes from.
McQuein is also the author of the young adult novel Premediated.
