Nightbane - Alex Aster

She is the remedy and the poison...

To save them, she will have to make a choice.

For almost five centuries, no one had managed to win the Centennial... And yet, after harsh trials, Isla Calys became the big winner. But the deadly competition has left traces. The young monarch is barely recovering from a terrible betrayal that she must already learn to control her brand new powers. Not to mention that he must now reign over not one, but two kingdoms.

However, rebellion is rumbling on the island of Lightlark. As new dangers loom and certain death threatens the entire archipelago, some question the legitimacy of the Savage to ensure their survival. The secrets of the past begin to resurface and time is running out. Isla will have to find a balance between her sovereign responsibilities and the whims of the most dangerous traitor: her heart.

Duplicity, lies, conspiracies and stunts that constantly reshuffle the cards of this dark fantasy series... The Lightlark Saga, a global phenomenon that has risen to the top of the New York Times bestseller lists, is a must for fans of Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer or Leigh Bardugo.
