The highly anticipated fourth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Lightlark Saga, by acclaimed author and #BookTok sensation Alex Aster

Some worlds deserve to be destroyed....

Isla Crown has charted a new destiny and leapt into the unknown, determined to defeat her insidious ancestor, Lark, no matter the cost. But Skyshade is nothing like she anticipated, and she’ll have to use all of her skills just to survive, let alone end Lark for good.

Meanwhile, Grim and Oro would sooner set fire to their own kingdoms than leave Isla stranded on a path toward certain death. But getting her back will involve forging an alliance—if they can find a way to forgive their long history of betrayals.

The key to Isla’s return—and the fate of the realms—lies close to her heart. But in the face of her most powerful enemy yet, will Isla be able to reconcile her past in order to carve a future of her own making?

Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, The Lightlark Saga is a must-listen for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.

I have to admit-the first half of the book moved slow for me. But I know to keep reading because books usually have a change and the story picks up. This one did not disappoint. Man. There’s a plot twist in the middle that is wild! I couldn’t put it down after that! Just when the problem gets solved, something happens to create a new one! I was always team Grim. Or team Isla, really. I loved them both so whichever she went with to get her HEA, I was good with. However. I think I’ve become team Oro. These characters are so tragic. The changes they go through. Each character’s traits are becoming more and more developed as the story progresses. And the cliffhanger! Now the wait is on to see what happens next. And the audio! I love these narrators. They do such good jobs at using the different voices for different characters.

That plot twist!

I felt like the book was rushed and a lot was left out and we had to fill in the blanks. The excitement and drama was lacking until the last half of the book.

The last few chapters saved this book for me

The male voice actor reading word by word made my skin crawl. It sounded so fake and names were not pronounced consistently. The female voice was lovely and they should have kept only her like in previous books. Absolutely terrible!!!!

Male narration sounds like AI
