The Eclipse Books in Order

The Eclipse page centers on Gravity, a young adult paranormal novel that blends supernatural mythology with a very intense love story. It has a bigger, more fated feel than M Leighton's contemporary romances, but the emotional engine is familiar if you already know her work. Attraction arrives fast, the stakes get high quickly, and love is tied directly to danger.

At the center is Peyton Giles, whose life changes when she learns that the people around her, including people at school and even in her own circle, are not what they seem. An eclipse sets larger forces into motion, and Peyton discovers she is not just caught in that conflict. She matters to it in a way that could change everything.

Trace Kramer, her brother's best friend, is the other major pull of the story. Their bond is not just romantic. It is literal, powerful, and linked to survival. That gives the book a strong fated-mates feeling, but it is wrapped in the language of destiny, second natures, and an ongoing battle between darkness and light.

This is a story for readers who like supernatural systems, chosen-one pressure, and romance that feels inseparable from the larger plot. Peyton is not wandering into a weird world for one adventure and then going back to normal. Once the truth comes out, normal is gone.

If you want to see Leighton working in a more mythic YA mode, with paranormal lore and high-stakes attachment at the center, Gravity is the place to begin. Even as an opening book, it clearly wants to build a bigger world around Peyton and Trace.
