About this ebook
In the captivating sequel to The Darkening, Vesper and Dalca face their fiercest battle yet to save their besieged city from the Great King and his ominous army.
'Will ensnare you from the first page' Chloe Gong on The Darkening
Vesper Vale sacrificed everything to save her city. But when she awakens after three years as a vessel of The Great Queen, she finds her home beset by sinister forces - and herself revered as a goddess.
The Great King and his army of lightstruck - once regular citizens who are now controlled by an ominous light - have besieged the city. And as she fights to rescue them, a chasm is growing between her and Dalca, the prince she swore never to love.
To save her city again, Vesper will have to face the power most outside her control - the goddess within.

Something about the way this book is written made it very difficult for me to follow. It required either re-reading sentences or just skipping paragraphs, which did not make me feel like I missed anything important. I begrudgingly read to the end with futile hope that it would redeem itself. It did not. The plot is tired, overused, and predictable. If you're considering this book mainly due to its marketing on TikTok (which is why I bought both books), I strongly suggest you find something else to read and not waste your time. There are better stories out there.
