About the book
The seductive and action-packed follow-up to Alex Aster’s instant #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling novel, Lightlark
Isla Crown has managed to win the love of two influential rulers and end the curses that had troubled the six realms for centuries. However, few are aware of the true source of her abilities.
Following a devastating act of betrayal, Isla seeks solace in distractions, choosing to frequent the alluring places of Lightlark rather than fulfilling her responsibilities as the newly appointed leader of two realms. To make matters worse, her fellow rulers are not accepting defeat gracefully, and there are skeptics among Isla's circle who doubt her rightful claim to power.
As impending danger approaches Lightlark and long-buried secrets come to light, Isla must balance her duty to her people with the desires of her own treacherous heart.
Alex Aster's complex world continues to evolve after the thrilling conclusion of the Centennial games, exploring Isla's memories of the past and the uncertain future that lies ahead with two possible outcomes.
