About this book

Isla has finally taken control of her destiny and ventured into the treacherous world of Skyshade to confront the dark magic of her ancestor Lark once and for all—but nothing could have prepared her for the danger that awaits. While Isla fights for survival against her most formidable enemy yet, Grim and Oro are willing to burn their kingdoms to the ground to bring her home, even if it means confronting the painful betrayals that have haunted their bond. This thrilling installment explores whether Isla can heal her fractured past while forging a future entirely her own, as the fate of all the realms hangs in the balance. Get ready for epic adventure, heart-wrenching choices, and the kind of story that will have you staying up way too late to find out what happens next!
