When Isla returns to Nightshade after a devastating battle, she's torn between two versions of herself—one haunted by forbidden feelings for the kingdom's ruler, and one desperate to prevent the catastrophe her powers could unleash. With the fate of both Lightlark and Nightshade hanging in the balance, she races against time to unravel an ancient prophecy and rewrite a future that feels impossibly heartbreaking. As a long-buried evil stirs and the line between enemy and ally blurs, Isla discovers that saving the world might demand the ultimate sacrifice from her fractured heart. This pulse-pounding installment will leave you breathless as love, duty, and destiny collide in ways you won't see coming.
