About this book

When Isla Crown wakes to a devastating betrayal, she discovers that saving the realms and winning two powerful hearts wasn't the end of her struggle—it was just the beginning. Now ruling two kingdoms while battling doubt from those who question whether she truly earned her crown, Isla must navigate treacherous politics, unearth dangerous secrets from her past, and confront the most unpredictable force of all: her own heart. As darkness closes in on Lightlark and old mysteries threaten to unravel everything she's built, she faces an impossible choice between her duty to her people and the paths her heart desperately wants to follow. This richly layered continuation deepens the world and Isla's story in ways that will have you completely enthralled.

“Create a playlist called Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2). Dark romantasy with ethereal yet sultry energy. Blend haunting orchestral fantasy with sensual indie and moody alt-pop. Think Hozier's intensity, Florence + The Machine's drama, and Phoebe Bridgers' vulnerability. Forbidden desire meets political intrigue and self-doubt. Atmospheric, emotionally raw, dangerously beautiful.”
