is navigating her new world with the help of her guide dog Maisie,

One day, on a visit to central London with her family, a
light in the world is suddenly extinguished, causing
panic and chaos as people are plunged into pitch black. A pagan god
of light, Lugh, has been released from his millennium-old-prison
by a shadowy villain and, out for revenge on humans, has brought
darkness down on the world. But Ella is the hero the world
needs: she is used to living her life in darkness every
day, and is able to keep calm and work out a plan to defeat
Lugh and return light to the world.
