Nightbane

Isla Crown has won the devotion of two powerful rulers and lifted the curses that had gripped the six realms for generations, yet almost no one knows where her abilities truly come from. This is the second novel in the Lightlark series, following the first book, Lightlark.

After a painful betrayal, Isla would rather lose herself in the alluring nightlife of Lightlark than take up the duties that come with ruling two realms, a crown she only recently accepted. The rulers she defeated refuse to accept their loss, and some among her own people question whether she truly earned her power.

As doom closes in on Lightlark and buried history begins to surface, Isla must decide between her obligations to her people and the pull of her own heart, the one enemy she may never outwit. The story widens the world after the Centennial Games, explores more of Isla's past, and moves toward one of two possible futures.
