ENGLISH VERSION. ENGLISH VERSION. ENGLISH VERSION.
When the world breaks, only those who shine differently can hold it together.
Martín is a boy with Down syndrome who lives among drawings, routines, and hugs full of truth. But when a mysterious virus turns people into empty and aggressive beings, his difference becomes something more: an inexplicable immunity.
In the midst of chaos, his family must make impossible decisions as the world collapses around them. Empty streets, overflowing hospitals, silences that scream. And an even more dangerous threat: the Pulcros, a group that seeks to eliminate everything that doesn't fit... everything that shines differently.
Thus begins a harrowing, poetic, and brutal escape through a country that is no longer recognizable. A family that risks everything to protect the one who needs it most. And a boy who, without meaning to, becomes the beacon guiding through the ruins of humanity.
In a story charged with emotion, tenderness, and tension, Downlight is not just a tale of survival, but a revolution seen through the eyes of the invisible ones, of those who love unconditionally, who don't fear like we do, but feel more deeply.
A boy. A notebook. A world that changes. And a light that doesn't go out.
Downlight is not a zombie novel.
It is a love letter to difference.
A song to tenderness in the midst of collapse.
A story of resistance from innocence.
Downlight is also a denunciation disguised as dystopia.
Perfect for readers who love deep emotions, dystopias with heart, and stories where heroes don't wear capes, but backpacks full of drawings.
If you've ever thought that the most fragile people could be the strongest, this novel is for you.
