Alex Aster’s Nightbane, the second instalment of The Lightlark Saga series, sees the story- world get richer and Isla’s struggles with her powers and duties escalate to yet headier heights. Furiously fast-paced, and laced with layer upon layer of plot twists, dilemmas and tension, complicated matters of the heart loom large, too. Tangled love that’ll make you swoon and quicken your pulse.
Newly crowned as the leader of two realms after breaking centuries-old curses, Isla has a disturbing vision of “Death, darkness and decay. Was it a threat? A glimpse of the future?” She’s about to find out! Though less than enthusiastic about learning how to master her powers, Isla has a moral compass: “she’d heard of the atrocities that had gone on for the last few centuries. Who was she, if she sat and did nothing after learning of that horror?”
With conflicts unfolding at every turn, along with deadly threats and unrest, this is a firecracker of a series.

About
Nightbane (The Lightlark Saga Book 2) Synopsis
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
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 hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties 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.
