The richly suspenseful sequel to Sophie Jordan’s romantic fantasy Reign of Shadows.

Luna and Fowler have escaped the kingdom of Relhok, but they haven’t escaped the darkness. When a battle against the dark dwellers mortally injures Fowler, Luna is faced with a choice: put their fate in the hands of mysterious strangers or risk losing Fowler forever.

Desperate to keep the one bright part of her life alive, Luna accepts the help of soldiers from a nearby kingdom. Lagonia’s castle offers reprieve from the dangerous outside world—until the king discovers both Fowler's and Luna’s true ties to Relhok and their influence over the throne.

Now pawns in each kingdom’s political game, Luna and Fowler are more determined than ever to escape and build the life they’ve been dreaming of. But their own pasts have a tight hold on their hearts and their destinies. Luna must embrace the darkness and fire within her before she loses not only Fowler, but the power she was destined to inherit.



Why I'm waiting on this one!

Well, I've done it again.....gotten hooked on a series I haven't heard about until now. And it's by the AWESOME Sophie Jordan!! Naw, I haven't read any of her books yet, but I HAVE read the reviews! So I'm jumping on the bandwagon for this one! The plot sounds absolutely EXCITING!!


This is the first book in the series!!

    I own the first book but like you, haven't read it. I love how the covers coordinate and as you can guess, it sometimes doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Hopefully we will make some time in 2017 to get to some of the many books waiting on our TBR!

      Hi, Barb,

      I don't own it, and haven't read it....boo-hoo!! Hope to do both soon!

      I'm not a huge fan of these covers, but at least they do match. I still remember what they did with the covers of the Nightshade series, by Andrea Cremer. AAAAARRGGHHH!!!! I don't understand WHY publishers pull stuff like that!!

      Anyway.....hope to get to the first book, and then the second, sometime this year!! Yes, our TBRs are HUMONGOUS, lol.

      Thanks for swinging by and commenting!! HUGS!! <3 :)

      Hi, Brittany!

      Oh, you've read "Reign of Shadows" and loved it? Now I'm even MORE interested in starting this series! Well, Jordan has an excellent reputation, judging from most of the reviews of her books.

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting!! :)

    Amazing cover! Just like Reign of Shadows. Sounds good too, but frankly I would almost want it just for the cover. :) This one of those that just jumps off the shelf I imagine.
