Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2) (The Lightlark Saga, 2) (Volume 2)

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--now in paperback!

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers.

Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself struggling to win respect as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven't ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla's midst who don't believe her ascent to power was earned.

As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.

Alex Aster's intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla's memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

A lot of action, adventure, and Isla finding herself through her strengths and abilities. The timeline jumps between present day and before the Centennial, giving more backstory with Isla and Grim. And of course, it ends on a big cliffhanger. I want to read the final book right, but I’ll probably wait awhile. Book #46 in 2025

Wow, Nightbane was everything I hoped for and more! If I thought Lightlark was good, this sequel blew it out of the water. I devoured the entire book in a single day—I just couldn’t put it down. Every chapter had me on the edge of my seat, and by the time I got to the ending, I literally gasped out loud. Now, I’m dying for the next book, and the wait is going to be pure torture!

What I loved most was how the mysteries were handled. They didn’t just pop up out of nowhere like they do in some books; instead, they were carefully built up, making every reveal feel earned and satisfying. And the romance? It was absolutely beautiful and so complex. The relationships in this book are layered and real, adding even more depth to an already incredible story.

If you loved Lightlark, Nightbane is going to blow your mind. It’s a wild ride from start to finish, and I’m already counting down the days until I can dive back into this world.
