THREE MILLION SERIES COPIES SOLD!

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.

Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, The Lightlark Saga is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

Quite the plot twist at the end, seemed a bit rushed though. Hopefully the third book can fill in some gaps

Nightbane by Alex Aster (Book 2 of The Lightlark Saga) Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Nightbane sweeps you right back into Alex Aster’s magical world — darker, stormier, and far more emotional than the first book. Isla’s journey takes unexpected turns as she faces the truth about her power, her past, and the people she trusts most. The story is full of twists, secrets, and tension that constantly keep you guessing. Every chapter adds another piece to the puzzle of the realms and the mysterious forces that rule them. The atmosphere is richer, the stakes are higher, and the emotions cut deeper than ever before. Alex Aster’s writing shines again: fast-paced, lyrical, and cinematic. The romance is intense and complicated, the worldbuilding feels even more alive, and the ending will absolutely leave you needing the next book. If you loved Lightlark, this sequel will pull you further into the chaos and beauty of Isla’s world. It’s a story of love, magic, and destiny — and it refuses to let go until the last page. 4/5 stars — A breathtaking, emotional sequel full of secrets, danger, and heart.
